He said, “In St. Cruz, I have seen a large number of people casting their vote and I believe this indicates people are eager to change the future of the constituency”.
Adding he said, “It is well known that gundagiri exists in the St. Cruz constituency. The police machinery, flying squads and all other machinery failed to help them. I had to step in to assist them. The government is abusing police machinery and creating obstacles to fair and free elections in St. Cruz. The people of St. Cruz are fed up with this gundagiri. If AAP is elected, I promise to end it”.
