In a rare show of unity, sarpanchas of all the eight village panchayats of Velim constituency pledged to work unitedly under the leadership of MLA Cruz Silva and ensure the victory of the INDIA bloc in the May 7 Lok Sabha election.
The meeting of unity assumes significance given that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, while recently campaigning in Velim constituency for the BJP candidate, had made a sensational claim that “AAP leaders are scared” and that they are “tracking him”.
In response, the AAP had lambasted the CM’s statement as that of someone who was himself scared, as there was a strong likelihood of ED action against the CM for his massive corruption once the INDIA bloc formed the government at the Centre in a few weeks time.
Thursday saw the Velim AAP MLA Silva calling for a meeting of members of the eight village panchayats under Velim constituency at his office, to chalk out a campaign plan for the INDIA bloc candidate.
