PANJIM: The NCP leader and ex-minister Jose Philip D’Souza along with NCP Block vice president Mario de Vasco, Councillor of Mormugao Municipal Council Pascoal D’Souza, former chairperson MMC Madelin Pereira among others began campaigning in support of Congress candidate Reginaldo Lourenco in full swing on Wednesday.
He organized corner meetings in a few wards in the constituency which received overwhelming response. People seemed convinced with their ex MLA’s explanation of why he is supporting the Congress. He explained that it is time for secular forces to unite, because this is not a fight of the Congress and BJP but against the RSS. Jose Philip explained to the people that Reginaldo is a good candidate and just like he has raised issue in the Assembly he will raise the issues of Goans in the Parliament.
He assured that all issues with the MPT will be solved since the MPT comes under the direct purview of the Central Government.
He even said that helping Reginaldo get a good lead in the constituency will be a referendum on the ruling government that Goans are not at all happy with the governance provided by the “Parivartan” regime. All the other elected members seated at the meetings also agreed to support Reginaldo.
, and differences should be kept aside in order to vote for a clean, young and most importantly secular candidate.
Jose Philip told the media that he will organize more such meetings in the run up to the elections to make the public aware how a “Hitler regime” can spell doom to the citizens of our country, and more importantly to get an MP elected who cares about Goa and Goans.
