Torn Goy Rakhonn Yatra Posters Expose BJP’s Fear in Shiroda: Congress

Goa Khabar: The deliberate tearing and damaging of posters of the Goy Rakhonn Yatra in Shiroda exposes the growing fear and frustration within the BJP ranks as the Congress’s campaign receives an overwhelming response from the people, Media and Communication Department Chairman Amarnath Panjikar said today.

The Congress strongly condemned the vandalism, stating that tearing posters cannot tear the people’s resolve to protect Goa, its land, identity, culture and future.

“BJP may tear our posters, but it cannot tear the voice of the people. It may try to hide the truth, but it cannot hide its failures. The more the BJP tries to suppress the Goy Rakhonn Yatra, the stronger the people’s determination to bring about change will become,” Panjikar said.

Panjikar said that the incidents in Shiroda reflect the nervousness of those who have realised that the people are no longer willing to tolerate the BJP’s politics of misgovernance, betrayal and neglect of Goa’s interests.

“BJP, remember this clearly — posters can be torn, banners can be removed, but the people’s mandate cannot be torn away. In 2027, the people of Shiroda will answer through the ballot. The same hands that tore the Goy Rakhonn Yatra posters will witness the people tearing apart the BJP’s political mandate and handing it to the Congress,” Panjikar warned.

Amarnath Panjikar appealed to its workers and supporters to remain peaceful and resolute, saying that the Goy Rakhonn Yatra will continue to march forward despite intimidation or attempts at disruption. “Goa will not bow down. Shiroda will not be silenced. Goy Rakhonn Yatra will continue — and 2027 will deliver the people’s verdict.”
