In her first visit to poll-bound Goa, Rajya Sabha MP and AITC leader Sushmita Dev embarked on a door-to-door campaign in the Fatorda constituency.
In a press release, TMC stated that Sushmita kicked off her day with a fiery speech at a press conference that was held at Aleixo Reginaldo’s residence in Curtorim where she gave reasons as to why she had dumped Congress and decided to join Mamata Banerjee in her fight against the fascist BJP regime.
Later, Sushmita Dev along with Ethel Lobo held a meeting with 30 women achievers in the Fatorda constituency. The plan was to hear them, encourage them and help them understand what TMC is all about, the release further stated.
Dev explained the meaning of ‘Trinamool’ which means ‘from the ground’ and said, "I joined TMC because the one who leads it is a powerful woman who worked in full force to root the BJP out in Bengal. Didi’s leg was broken but she fought the election in a wheelchair and still won."
Further, Dev elaborated on the significance of the ‘Griha Laxmi Scheme’ launched by TMC which is the need of the hour to kick start Goa’s economy.
