Goa a first-class state with third-class politicians, says AAP leader
Remarking that Goa is “a first class State regrettably saddled with “third class politicians”, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday exhorted the Goan public to root out the ruling BJP, promising that the AAP would “establish the first corruption-free government” in the State after the 2022 Assembly election.
Addressing a massive rally in Panjim, Mr. Kejriwal attacked the BJP, the Congress and the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) – Goa’s oldest regional party – for having given the people nothing but scam-tainted governance since the coastal State’s liberation from Portuguese rule in 1961.
Decrying the horse-trading frenzy before the elections, Mr. Kejriwal said the Congress, which did not have any strong candidates today, was a virtually empty party with just two MLAs in the 40-seat Assembly.
