Revolution has begun to end BJP rule in Goa: Yuri

MARGAO
An elated Yuri Alemao said the clear mandate given by the people of Cuncolim is a tight slap on the people who were out to defeat him by raking up the outsider tag.

He further said the defeat of the BJP is a clear message that Cuncolkars have started the revolution to bring an end to the BJP rule in Goa.

“I am happy that Cuncolkars have given us a good welcome. Some people have been on the job to say that my father and now I are outsiders. But, the people have treated us with respect”, he said, adding that his group will work to make Cuncolim Smart Cuncolim.

Cuncolim MLA Clafacio Dias and the BJP have been rejected by the people, Yuri said adding that, the BJP could win in hardly two wards out of the 7-8 wards where Chief Minister Pramod Sawant had campaigned.

Joaquim Alemao said the same persons, who tried to rake up the outsider tag, were working overtime to defeat the Congress candidates, but were rejected by the people of Cuncolim.
