MANDREM: Goa Forward Party (GFP) candidate Deepak Kalangutkar wasted no time after filing his nomination form to resume his campaign in the Mandrem VP area on Friday. Congress Block President Narayan Redkar and North Goa Secretary Pranav Parab accompanied the GFP team throughout the day, sending a clear message of unity among the alliance members to the voters. GFP’s Mandrem Block General Secretary Aakar Dabale and Executive Members Pandurang Sawant and Shashi Hadfadkar were also present during the door-to-door visits.
When asked about his prospects, Kalangutkar said, “I’m confident about performing well at the polls and should win by a comfortable margin. I am very thankful to all those who were present yesterday when I filed my nomination, especially all the Congress leaders . This has sent a strong message across the constituency dispelling all the rumours being spread by my competitors.”
“We are here to give Goa a government of the people, a people-friendly Government that will not take a single action against the wishes of the people. We will not allow the fate of Goa to be decided by lobbies involved in coal transportation, illegal mining, shady tourism or land dealing,” said Kalangutkar.
