Hitting out at Health Minister and Valpoi MLA Vishwajeet Rane for claiming that Congress doesn’t have any presence in Valpoi constituency, the Valpoi Block Congress has said the party would show its true presence in the Lok Sabha polls by securing a huge margin of votes for its candidate.
Reacting to Rane’s statements, Congress Block President Dashrath Mandrekar said Rane was always taking voters in the constituency for granted.
“Since the last couple of months, the Congress has been active with honest and active congressman, which will be very helpful during the upcoming Lok Sabha polls,” said Mandrekar.
“Minority voters from Valpoi constituency have shown their support to the Congress Party and we are very sure that during upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the voters will also support us this time.”
Mandrekar said the Congress block had passed a resolution stating that Rane should not be taken back into the Congress, because he had insulted the party after entering the BJP.
“Valpoi constituency has been the stronghold of the Congress and Rane should know better since he had also won legislator from this constituency on the Congress ticket,” said Mandrekar.
“Venkatesh Desai and Ashok Parab have also been elected from Valpoi constituency as Congress legislators and so, Rane should not underestimate the Congress party in Valpoi constituency.”
“During the during upcoming LS polls, Congress will definitely move ahead with much more votes as compared to the BJP,” he added.
Seval Dal President Krishna Nene, Congress Minority leader Harshad Shaikh, Mahila Committee President Roshan Desai and Block Secretary Nandakumar Kopardekar were also present at the news conference.
