“The large turnout of people reminds me of the 2012 assembly election, when I witnessed similar crowds during campaigning. I am confident that you will show the same support and help BJP win with 22-26 seats in the next assembly election. Help us get 26 seats and I assure you that more development will take place in Goa in next few years,” Parrikar added.
Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar in his speech stated that Vasco MLA Carlos Almeida had performed very well despite not being a minister, and as KTC chairman has turned the corporation into a profit-making body for the first time in its history.
“Besides generating profits for KTC, Almeida has solved various problems faced by KTC staff,” said Parsekar.
In his speech, Almeida highlighted the developmental works he had carried out in the constituency.
Hinting that there would be no significant opposition to him at the next polls, the Vasco legislator said the next election would be like a cricket match between India and Zimbabwe.
