In a massive show of strength, Goa TMC Poriem candidate Ganpat Gaonkar organized a mega ‘Mahila Jansabha’ in the constituency on Monday.
AITC Goa co-incharge Sushmita Dev along with Goa TMC Mahila Wing President Avita Bandodkar were also present at the Jansabha to elaborate on TMC’s message of women empowerment.
TMC has fielded the highest number of female candidates this election with a strike rate of over 15% (4 out of 26 candidates) beating all - the BJP, Congress and AAP when it comes to women representation in politics.
“Women from all 8 panchayats of Poriem came together to pledge support to TMC candidate Ganpat Gaonkar in a bid to end dynasty politics and end the rule of the Rane family. They expressed their mandate to support a common man like Gaonkar and not the ruling class which only favoured those who bow down before their hegemonic rule,” said the press note issued by the party.
Bandodkar called upon the women of the constituency to go door-to-door and “help an efficient and credible leader win against the corrupt Rane family and bring about a much desired change”.
