MOIRA: The Goa Pradesh Congress Committee President and the North Goa Lok Sabha candidate, Girish Chodankar, has assured to treat fishing on par with agriculture industry if the Congress comes to power in the State.
Chodankar made the assurance during his day-long campaign in Aldona constituency on Saturday.
“We have received great love and support for Congress in Aldona constituency. Let us come together and fight for the change we want to see. This election will decide the direction in which the country will move. We have to decide, if we want a government under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi who will take forward the country with love and unity among the people or the BJP government which has taken us five years back in time. April 23 is a very important day as it will decide your fate,” Chodankar said.
During his campaign he visited Rashtroli temple at Mapusa, Bastora, Moira, Aldona, Ucassiam, Pomburpa, Calvim, Carona, Nachinola, Chorjuem, Quitla, Ganapati temple and few other places.
Highlighting “how the current government has finished our fields and hill by selling our land,” Chodankar said, “To make money they have even begun putting formalin in the fish we eat. The supporters of BJP, AAP and Goa Forward are also with us as they do not want the current government. Goans are all angry and want to teach BJP a lesson. There are 32 lakh jobs all over India which will be released within one year,” Chodankar said and promised to become the voice of Goans.
He also spoke on GST, CRZ, tourism, river nationalization and other topics pertaining to the State.
Thivim MLA Nilkanth Halarnkar said the Chodenkar would win by a huge margin and requested the gathering to stand united and elect Chodankar to the Lok Sabha.
