PM Modi should interact with aam Goans

Chief Minister Pramod Sawant while speaking to reporters on Tuesday has said that a crowd of around 50,000 people are expected to attend Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s public rally and which is scheduled on 6th February 2024 at the KTC bus stand, Margao at 1.30 pm.  

Well, it looks like the BJP leaders are getting all set to bring in thousands of people even from the neighbouring states in jam-packed buses by distributing free lunch/snacks packets at the above venue to make Modi happy and trying to take maximum political mileage out of this particular public rally at Margao keeping an eye on the fast approaching polls for the two Lok Sabha seats in the State. Well, Modi as usual will begin his ‘much awaited public rally by saying a few lines in Konkani on stage and later start his ‘blah-blah’ speech after shouting a few chest-thumping slogans to send all his die-hard symphatisers/supporters into a deep frenzy.   

He will then start self-glorifying himself by specifically listing the construction of the Ram temple at Ayodhya as one of his greatest achievement amongst other things and later start talking about the few newly constructed bridges, flyovers, four lane roads etc to show them as some of the biggest achievements of the State BJP government in the last 10 years but will not utter a single word over the fully vandalised roads of Panjim city, casinos, ongoing drugs/prostitution/ alcohol-related activities that are currently going on in full swing in different parts of Goa.
