Appealing to the people of Calangute constituency not to fall prey to the false propaganda of other political parties, the newly appointed Congress Block President Benedict Souza said the Congress party was on the path of rejuvenation and is getting very active on the ground in Calangute.
He has appealed to the people not to succumb to any sort of pressure from the BJP and the other divisive forces and to stay together behind the Congress party.
“There are lot of B-teams of the BJP in the form of new entrants entering into the political field. This narrative of having smaller groups who are playing in the hands of the BJP and only trying to divide the anti-BJP votes to allow the BJP to come back to power,” Souza said.
He cautioned the people of the constituency to be wary of such elements who were hell-bent to bring back the BJP in the constituency.
The block president said that Calangute constituency has been destroyed over the last ten years and has suffered due to the failed and destructive policies of the incumbent BJP MLA.
He said the present BJP MLA introduced the Planning Development Authority (PDA) in the pristine villages of Calangute constituency and had caused massive destruction of fields and hills to cater to the builder lobby in spite of the opposition of the people against the plan.
Souza urged the people to support the Congress party keeping aside all their differences for all round development and to preserve the constituency for posterity.
He said the new political parties were very well aware that they are unable to win the seat but were trying to only achieve their sole agenda and goal of dividing the anti-BJP votes.
