PANJIM: The Goencho Avaaz Party on Saturday announced the names of its president Swapnesh Sherlekar and Vice President Roshan Mathias as candidates for Tivim and Calangute Constituencies for the upcoming Assembly elections.
Introducing his colleagues, Goencho Avaaz Party State Convenor Captain Viriato Fernandes said, “Swapnesh and Roshan need no introduction. They have been at the forefront of so many fights to preserve Goa, time and again, they have proved their mettle. Unfortunately Goa, particularly the northern belt has become a centre of lawlessness with criminal elements from across the country confidently carrying in criminal operations with impunity. Goencho Avaaz Party has been closely monitoring both Calangute and Tivim Constituencies and the party has made the unanimous decision that both constituencies cannot be compromised in the upcoming elections.”
Captain Fernandes said that over time the party will announce more candidates in other constituencies as per the request they receive from people, who are desperately looking out for clean and honest alternatives.
“GAP remains committed to fulfilling ‘Mission Clean-up Goa politics,” he said.
Capt Fernandes appealed to the people to prioritise integrity, honesty, good character and a clean past record of a person, who comes asking for their votes. “At GAP, we promise to you is that we will only present before you candidates who meet all these criteria.”
The GAP convenor said that Goa sits on the brink of decimation having been repeatedly betrayed by a government that has worked only to retain its own position of power and to promote the vested interests of favoured crony capitalists.
