PONDA: Launching a scathing attack on the “double engine” BJP government, the Ponda Block Congress Committee President John Pareira said Congress is getting overwhelming support in Ponda and Rahul Gandhi to address the Congress Party meeting at Ponda on February 11.
Pereira addressed the media alongwith Congress Party General Secretary Tripolo Souza, Councillor Venkatesh Naik, William Aguiar and Congress Ponda Women Morcha President Sampada.
Tripolo Souza said that the BJP double engine Government failed to develop Ponda Constituency for the past ten years, while MGP supremo is against minorities in Goa and another face of RSS.
He said people are suffering as Ponda Sub District Hospital lacks medical equipment such as CT scan Machinez X-ray machine, machines for an eye check-ups, and people rely on GMC.
When Hospital was inaugurated, four operation theatres were opened, but only one was in operation.
Block President John Pareira said MGP, which was also in the ruling, failed to sort out issues, and now the MGP joined TMC just for the sake of Vitamin M.
He questioned why MGP failed to form an alliance with the oldest Congress Party in Goa.
“The roads are in the worst condition in Ponda. It takes 20 minutes to cover even a small distance from Dada Vaidya chowk to the upper Bazaar due to the worst condition of roads. He said that the Ponda MLA Joined BJP but failed to solve issues,” he said.
He urged voters to elect Congress candidate Rajesh Verenkar to solve the issues of Ponda.
He pointed out how traffic congestion parking problems haunt locals for the past ten years.
Irvin Soares, a former councillor, said five years back, the PMC had planned various projects, including the Parking Project, reconstruction of the Shastri hall building, the traffic management plan for the city, but the BJP double engine Government went in the reverse direction due to which no development works could be implemented.
Goa Forward Councillor Venkatesh Naik said Congress and Goa Forward alliance is committed to solving the unemployment problem.
