Goa Forward Party held its block meeting on Saturday evening at Saraswati Vachanalay in Mayem with the GFP Working President Kiran Kandolkar, Vice President Durgadas Kamat, Joint Secretary Santosh Sawant and other leaders attending.
He said, “I am sure the way you all have made your presence here today, we will win the Mayem seat with thumping majority.”

Kandolkar said that the people from the villages of Mayem Consistency rely heavily on farming activities and if these lines are passed through these areas, we will not only destroy the fields but also the livelihood of our farmers.
Further, he highlighted “when we saw the plan, we were shocked that villages in Mayem will be affected with the power supply lines passing through”.
Speaking at the block meeting, Vice President Kamat said that “now is the time to unite and give a thorough fight to the BJP government which is all set to destroy Goa and the Goemkars”.
He said, “In the month of April, the GFP President Vijai Sardesai would be touring the Mayem Constituency and will be holding a meeting with all workers.”
Speaking on alliance with the Opposition, Kamat said that Goa Forward Party president is working hard and nonstop to build a united Team Goa to take on Team BJP.
Kamat further said that “let’s focus on the ground to strengthen the hands of our president, so that the people enjoy their rightful freedom and aspirations”.
Santosh Sawant, the GFP joint secretary proposed the name of Anand Parsekar, a senior GFP worker for the post of Mayem block president, who was subsequently unanimously elected in the meeting.
