In a bid to pitch the Aam Aadmi
Party (AAP) as a firm
alternative to 'corrupt' Congress and the BJP in the upcoming 2017 Goa Assembly
polls, Delhi Chief MinisterArvind
Kejriwal on Tuesday
met the members of fishermen community in Vasco and assured his support to
them.
Kejriwal visited the
house of Custodio D'souza , President, old cross fishing canoe owners society
at Khadewada, and said BJP and Congress were two sides of the same coin,
adding, "both parties are totally corrupt."
"What happened
in Delhi will happen in Goa. People have seen that BJP and Congress are two
faces of the same coin.. Earlier, people did not have an alternative, but now
they have. And we have seen it in Delhi.Even in Delhi we had said that we will
not let peoples' livelihood affected," he said.
Kejriwal, who was
seen donning a crown of flowers while interacting with the fishermen, told them
that they would be real decision makers if AAP is voted to power in Goa.
"Just like it is in Delhi," he added.
When asked about his
expectations from AAP's
first electoral battle in Goa, Kejriwal said, "We will win 35 out of 40
seats."
"I have come
here to meet the fishermen and listen to their problems. The Aam Aadmi party is
not a party but a movement against corruption. It is a movement for the rights
of common people. These people are raising issues related to their livelihood.
They are saying that illegal dredging and other issues are affecting their
lives," Kejriwal told media here.
The current term of
the Goa Legislative Assembly ends on March 18,
2017. It is expected that the Election Commission schedule might announce the
schedule of polls by January 2017.
The last election had
resulted in a 21 seat majority to the Bharatiya Janata Party led by Manohar
Parrikar.
Parrikar was elected
as the Chief Minister, however, in 2014, he had to resign due to being
nominated as Minister of Defence. Laxmikant Parsekar then took oath as Chief
Minister as Parrikar's successor.
