MARGAO: Fully aware of his decision to join hands with BJP to form the next government in Goa has caused resentment among his constituents, Fatorda MLA-elect Vijai Sardesai on Monday held a meeting with his supporters and voters to convince them that his decision was in interest of Fatorda, Salcete and Goa at large.
Vijai said that he would ensure that the minority community is fully protected. Over 500 supporters along with the councillors and MMC chairperson were present.
“I am a watch dog of some issues. Till I am in the government I will ensure no minorities will be troubled,” he assured.
Defending the state BJP, Vijai said, “Goa BJP is different and he will make sure that the incidents against minorities, which happen beyond Goa, will never occur.”
“Give me a chance. My actions will speak louder than words,” Vijai said and promised to work for development and progress of Fatorda. He assured to take steps to solve all major problems in Fatorda.
Vijai also apologized for having not informed earlier and said on Sunday there was no time to explain and so I convened this meeting to discuss about the same.
“The works need to be completed. We have done a lot in Fatorda and we want more,” he added.
“We have supported Manohar Parrikar. People will wonder why I fell in love with Parrikar. I have criticised Manohar Parrikar and it was our duty as Opposition but we never made personal comments. In fact to take Goa forward we will utilise his (Parrikar) brains and relations with the Centre,” Vijai added.
