PANJIM: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Goa Convener and Mapusa candidate Rahul Mhambre on Tuesday stated that the party is very confident of its victory and that AAP CM candidate Amit Palekar will be sworn in as the new Goa CM shortly.
Mhambre asserted that Goa witnessed a high voter turnout of 78.94 per cent in the polls for the 40 assembly seats on Monday. There is a huge anti-incumbency wave, which is why this time the Goans are pushing for a change.
Mhambre said, "AAP has been working on ground for the last five years, and our members have been very active during the last one and a half years during the pandemic. I believe Goans have acknowledged our work and voted for AAP. We are grateful to the people for having trusted us, our party, and our leadership so highly during the electoral process.”
“AAP is the only party capable of forming a government devoid of corruption, capable of reshaping education and health infrastructure, and capable of implementing AAP national convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's governance model,” he added.
Mhambre said, “This election is not an end. It is a beginning. We will win with majority. During the last five years, only AAP has played the role of opposition properly. If AAP is elected, we will make sure to fulfill all the promises that were made by us.”
