Curdi sarpanch joins AAP

PANAJI

Curdi Panchayat's Sarpanch Domacio Barretto joined Aam Aadmi Party yesterday in the the presence of AAP Goa Convenor Rahul Mhambre. Barretto said he was impressed by the honesty of Arvind Kejriwal and how AAP always puts people first in their governance. He stated that the village of Curdi has been completely ignored by the BJP Govt and the residents are suffering because of this. 

Barretto stated that it was only the politics of honesty of AAP that can save Goa.

Curdi village like most villages in Goa suffers from lack of connectivity via public transport, youth who need jobs and students who don't have adequate internet connectivity for their online classes. The BJP govt in it's slumber has been doing nothing to help villages like this leaving them to languish behind and their youth to fall behind the rest of the world.

 Meanwhile AAP Goa has aggressively reached to villages like Curdi providing them services that the Govt refuses to from oximeter checking campaigns to ration in the time of pandemic.

"Youth have no jobs, students don't have internet to study and our village doesn't even have public transport for basic commuting! The fact of the matter is that while the BJP Govt is flush with funds they don't seem to be interested in spending this on Goenkars. But AAP despite not being in power has reached out to Goa's villages, provided them ration and also medical services like Oximeters," added Barretto

"Goenkars have been suffering due to the impact of the lockdown, but the BJP govt has not even helped us. Meanwhile, Arvind Kejriwal has provided the people of Delhi world class healthcare and helped small businesses, rickshaw owners and taxikars during the lockdown. We need this model in Goa," Barretto added.

"Domacio Barretto's joining is another example of how social workers and Goenkars of all hues look to AAP as the only hope for Goa. They know that the BJP & Congress are not interested in protecting Goa" said AAP Goa COnvenor Rahul Mhambre.
