Aam Aadmi Party vice president Valmiki Naik took a potshot at Congress saying that the party had deemed former Calangute MLA Michael Lobo unfit to be a minister, but now finds fit to induct him.
In a press release, AAP stated Naik argued that earlier Congress made fun of Lobo when it said, "Waste management minister to waste minister, what a fall!", now Congress has inducted the waste minister into its ranks.
Naik said, "P Chidambaram promised Congress party workers in Goa six months ago that this election, Congress would introduce 80 per cent new faces. This time, the Block Committee will choose their candidate. However, we know the status of Congress right now. Congress has introduced the same old faces. Unlike AAP, Congress leaders can't guarantee their leaders won't defect".
"Congress has begun playing politics in the late hours, similar to the BJP, which is known for its midnight dramas. Congress Calangute Block earlier made the statement that they are determined to defeat the Calangute MLA of the BJP, Michael Lobo, who destroyed the Calangute constituency. The same party has now inducted Lobo within one month", he added.
Sudesh Mayekar, AAP Calangute candidate stated that Lobo, who has destroyed Calangute, would now destroy Siolim.
He said, "Michael Lobo, a former MLA of Calangute constituency, who is currently campaigning in Siolim, says people in Siolim are facing several challenges due to a lack of basic facilities. He must first address the requirements of his constituents."
