Panaji: “I am extremely delighted we formed the Aam Aadmi Party. We are not politicians; we do not know how to do politics. This is our biggest strength and weakness. We formed this party for the country, we are here to serve the people of Goa. I am very happy about this. Today I met a taxi driver, he said during the entire pandemic period no one came to us, only AAP did, they were the only ones who came to give ration and took care of our wellbeing. Only AAP came to us with oximeters for checkups, to give us treatment,” Shri Kejriwal said, talking about the groundwork the party is doing in Goa.
“I want to congratulate all the volunteers, workers and members of the party who even in such tough times were serving the people going from one household to another without caring for themselves,” he added.
In today’s time, there is no difference between Congress or BJP, whichever party you vote for MLAs anyway will defect to the BJP: Arvind Kejriwal
“Goa has decided they want to move over corrupt, party hopping politics, they want clean politics. In today’s time, there is no difference between Congress or BJP, whichever party you vote for MLAs anyway will defect to the BJP. The people have decided they want change. This state has been saying this kind of politics for 15-20 years, not just Goa in fact, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh all saw Congress MLAs defect to BJP. They did not have an option earlier, now they do – Aam Aadmi Party,” Shri Kejriwal said.
“When the first AAP government was made in Delhi we had 28 MLAs, BJP had 32, 35 are required to make the government. They needed only 3 MLAs. They could not buy even 3 MLAs from our 28 MLAs. Next time we made our government we had 67 MLAs, BJP tried their best to disqualify 21 of our MLAs, they could not make even one of our MLAs defect in Delhi,” he added.
Talking about bringing fresh faces to Goa, Shri Arvind Kejriwal said, “why is it that wherever people vote for Congress, the BJP ends up forming the government, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh are living examples. Enough of old parties and enough of old faces. The people of Goa have realised that these old parties and their old politicians can not bring change, they don’t expect anything from them now, they want fresh faces.”
