Apropos to the report "AAP releases its third list of five candidates" (The Goan Everyday January 13, 2022). The Goa AAP leader Valmiki Naik bab has been around for quite some time now. He contested the Goa Assembly Elections 2017 on the AAP ticket and received around 1,000 votes. Ever since Naik Bab has come a long way. He is a regular feature in the Goa AAP press conferences in the run up to the Goa Assembly Elections 2022. He has upped his social media game as well. I remember his viral picture of him taking a break from the hurly-burly of hectic campaigning to the upcoming Goa assembly elections and playing impromptu street cricket with the children of Panaji. What a nice gesture it was! Valmiki Naik Bab is young and ready to learn the tricks of the trade. His Aam Aadmi Party has rightly reposed faith in his potential as an MLA if elected by the people of Panaji. He will surely come out smelling of roses this time around. Here's wishing him all the best.
