To a question, he said that the party would expand its base mainly in Congress-ruled constituencies. He also said that as stated by the party president, GFP has been getting a good response from various parts of the state.
Besides Sardesai, the party's two other MLAs who are ministers in the cabinet - housing minister Jayesh Salgaonkar and fisheries minister Vinod Palyekar were also present.
The party has planned a public meeting on Goa's Opinion Poll day in January 2018. Over the next two months, the party plans to make inroads in other constituencies and undertake a massive membership drive.
Members also decided to highlight the achievements of the government.
