Panaji: Entry of new political parties in Goa will only help split secular votes and nothing else and help divide anti-BJP votes, stated Congress leaders.
Goans have full faith in the Congress Party which has always respected the sentiments and emotions of the people.
The entry of new political parties in Goa will only help split the secular votes. Goans will never fall prey to political gambles and gimmicks and will never compromise on Goa’s identity. We are completely confident that Goans will reaffirm Pandit Nehru’s words “Ajeeb Hai Goa ke Log” stated Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president Girish Chodankar and Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat in a joint statement issued here on Sunday.
Both leaders said that Goans are proud about their identity and will never get carried away with fake election tricks of dividing the anti-BJP votes.
Goa has a history of mass agitations and Goans have always stood hand-in-hand to protect and preserve the identity of the state. We are going to form the next government in 2022 and will ensure that all anti-Goa decisions and projects of the BJP government are scrapped.
There is a long queue of young leaders waiting to join the Congress Party. The youth of Goa is getting attracted towards the Congress Party which is the only formidable force with a strong base to defeat communal, insensitive and the irresponsible BJP. In the coming days, Goa will have a ‘Congress wave’ all across the state.
Some political parties which are now trying to stage a comeback in Goa have already tested Goan waters in the past. They failed miserably earlier and will repeat it once again. No one can take Goans for a ride.
Reacting to the entry of Trinamool Congress in Goa, Chodankar said “I don’t think Mamata Didi is a political fool to come to Goa and divide secular votes which will benefit her arch rival, the BJP. I don’t think she will make a political suicide in Goa.’’
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee could succeed in politics and continue in power because she focused on ground realities. She knows that any party can stand firm with strong political roots when it is built from the bottom, not from the top, superficially. Parties are built by workers, not leaders, and certainly not by dealers’ said Kamat.
