Aam Aadmi Party while condemning the rattled BJP government’s attempts to stop their corner meetings being conducted as part of the Veej Andolan said the movement will now be intensified and declared that AAP MLA Raghav Chadha will be addressing the meeting on December 6, at Guirim.
Briefing media persons, AAP leader Valmiki announced that Delhi MLA Raghav Chadha who had responded to Power Minister Nilesh Cabral’s call for a public debate on the power issue, will be addressing the meeting scheduled on Sunday, at 6 pm, which will be held near the Government Primary School, at Namoxim.
He said AAP’s two meetings scheduled on Friday were prohibited by the BJP ministers as they were to be held in their constituencies. In the first place, Power Minister Nilesh Cabral sent three jeeps of police personnel at the ground in Xeldem where the meeting was scheduled.
“Our ZP candidate Velroid Mascarenhas and other coordinators were threatened by the police who were acting at the behest of the Power Minister and said that they would not allow even four people to gather there,” he said.
In the second instance, the Veej Andolan meeting scheduled at Valpoi was abruptly cancelled as police arrested AAP leader Sandesh Telekar even as he was addressing the people, he said while pointing out that Valpoi is represented by the Health Minister.
While expressing confidence that the ZP elections will show the success of the AAP in Goa, Valmiki said AAP has fielded 21 candidates for the ZP elections.
