The Aam Aadmi Party today lambasted the Bharatiya Janata Party for running out of ideas to counter the growing popularity of AAP in Goa. State Convenor Rahul Mhambre said that BJP leader Amit Shah’s baseless attack on AAP during his address to BJP workers on Thursday showed that he was unable to respond to the fact that Kejriwal’s Guarantees have captured the imagination of the people of Goa. “Amit Shah ji used the word “free” multiple times in a feeble attempt to mock AAP’s assurances. But he could not erase the fact that he himself had made similar assurances…

The Aam Aadmi Party’s Rozgar Yatra hit the St.Andre constituency. The Yatra started at Curca bridge and then went on to meetings at CUrca Ground, Batim & Azzossim and was received by residents. The booth level meetings were attended by 100s of residents who also got themselves registered for Kejriwal’s Job Guarantee. During the last elections the sitting MLA Francisco Silveira betrayed the trust of the people by switching over sides from the Congress to the BJP. Even though today he is in the ruling party, no development has happened. The Youth of St Andre still don’t have jobs.…

Goemkarponn desk ANJUNE: It was shocking to know that the 42-year-old Sagar Shripad Naik, a resident of Anjuna, was mercilessly beaten by five Karnatak tourists, and the people just watched. The poor Goan, working as a parking attendant near Anjuna beach, started bleeding profusely and succumbed to injuries on the way to the hospital. The incident happened at around noon when teh Karnataka tourists wanted to park their Tata Sumo vehicle without paying parking fees. Since Sagar Naik objected to this, the tourists thrashed him in front of a huge crowd – but none came to save him. These are…

Sharing here a quick firsthand experience of e-Governance in Goa, the non-e-way! I wanted to change the address on my driving license. I filled up the form online and paid the fees digitally on the national Vahan portal. I submitted an Aadhar card as proof of my residence. At the end of the process, I got a message on the screen to ‘print’ the E-form and submit it ‘physically’ (LOL) at the local RTO office. I took the print of all the forms, photocopies of the submitted documents etc., almost 10-15 pages (and all these years I thought EGovernance implied…

The party is vying hard for an alliance with Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) in a bid to avoid division of Hindu votes. Agreed the BJP has 27 MLAs today, meaning 69 p.c of the MLAs in the Assembly but can the party call them their own. Out of 27, 14 have been robbed from Congress and the MGP. It would be interesting to see how many of these 14 will contest on BJP. Rumours suggest that at least 5 of the ten turncoats from Congress are planning to part ways with BJP and contest either independent or another party. SURAJ…

Goemkarponn Desk Panaji: Today the AAP Goa Convenor Rahul Mhambre slammed the Mapusa Municipality for ruthless actions towards iconic trees of Mapusa. Mhambre stated that the iconic trees instead of being transplanted or trimmed are directly being cut. Earlier this year the Mapusa Municipality also destroyed a heritage building next to old municipal building in Mapusa and didn’t even consider saving it. It seems the city MLA is least concerned with the city and it’s heritage. The City of Mapusa has been suffering under the BJP MLA and the Mapusa Municipality. Potholes are now a daily problem, as a power…
