AAP intensifies ‘BJPChe Gundaraj Goyank Naka’ campaign, slams BJP’s lawlessness

Goa Khabar : The Aam Aadmi Party has ramped up its “BJPChe Gundaraj, Goyank Naka” campaign across Goa, calling out the BJP’s growing lawlessness and culture of fear. The campaign, which took place in Curchorem, Curtorim, and Assagao, highlighted the rise in violent crimes like assaults, kidnappings, and gang wars under the BJP rule.

AAP leaders, including State President Amit Palekar, Roque Mascarenhas, Patricia Fernandes, James Fernandes, and Pujan Malvankar sharply criticized the BJP for nurturing a network of goons, making the state unsafe for opposition leaders, activists, and ordinary citizens alike. “No one feels protected under BJP’s rule. It’s time Goans unite against this culture of fear,” said Palekar.

Patricia Fernandes blamed Chief Minister Pramod Sawant for the escalating lawlessness, saying crime rates have skyrocketed under his leadership with no effective action to restore public safety. “The state machinery seems to support, not control, this chaos,” Fernandes added.

Pujan Malvankar emphasized that Goans want clean politics, not ‘gundaraj’. He said the party’s campaign is a call for a better, safer future. In Curtorim, the rally gained momentum as commuters honked and cheered in solidarity. Roque Mascarenhas called for unity, stressing that Goa cannot progress under a cloud of fear.

From Curchorem, James Fernandes decried the worsening situation of gang wars and violent attacks that have tarnished Goa’s reputation. “This is not the Goa we know. It’s time to put an end to this,” he said, rallying supporters to join the campaign for a safer, law-abiding Goa.

In Assagao, Pujan Malvankar urged the government to focus on solving the real issues of Goans, rather than silencing public voices. “Goans deserve a secure future, not ‘gundaraj’,” Malvankar said, adding that the government’s failure to act has left people vulnerable.
