Pujan Malvankar said, beginning with prayers strengthens my resolve to work with honesty. Through our manifesto meetings, every resident will shape Anjuna’s development plan. I have been on the ground fighting for better roads, water supply and helping people through health camps — I will go to the people with this work and ask for their support.

AAP Goa stated that these spiritual beginnings reflect the party’s belief that public service must start with humility, blessings, and be guided entirely by the people’s voice. The campaigns will now move into full public engagement through manifesto meetings, door-to-door visits and village-level outreach.
