PANJIM: Over 60 villagers from Canacona joined Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) along with sitting panch member from Loliem-Polem Village Panchayat Anoop Balkrishna Kudtarkar.
A practicing criminal lawyer, Kudtarkar is famous for handling some of the top criminal cases in the State. He has also helped thousands of Goenkars with their cases for free and is known as a philanthropic lawyer. Kudtarkar belongs to Akhil Goa Kshatriya Pagi Samaj. He is also the President of All India OBC Mahasabha Canacona Constituency.
Speaking to the press, Kudtarkar said that Goenkars especially the residents of Canacona are tired of the misgovernance of the BJP and the betrayal by the Congress.
“The BJP and Congress are two sides of the same coin. One party buys MLAs the other grooms MLAs for purchase. In the middle of the Goenkars are ignored,” said Kudtarkar.
“In Canacona residents voted for the Congress but the MLA switched over to the BJP. This move shocked not only Congress voters but voters of the BJP as well who now had an MLA they voted against,” added Kudtarkar.
“It is very clear that AAP is the only way forward for Goa. In the past two week Goenkars from the Northern most corners to the Southern most corners of Goa have joined the party,” said AAP Goa Convenor Rahul Mhambre
