Our villages are ignored, our youth are ignored, and our issues remain unresolved. On the other hand, AAP\u2019s work \u2014 especially the health camps that reached even our remote areas \u2014 is commendable. It motivates educated youth like me to join AAP and serve our community with honesty.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>Sanjavi Velip said:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cFor years, no political party has brought real services to our villages. AAP\u2019s health camps helped hundreds of people in our area. This kind of genuine work inspired me to join AAP. I want to stand with a party that actually works for common people.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>Adv. Samiksha Kholkar added:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cAAP\u2019s outreach in rural Goa is unmatched. While other parties only come during elections, AAP has been consistently present on the ground \u2014 helping families, organising free health services, and listening to people. This is politics with purpose, and I am proud to join AAP.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>Welcoming them, MLA Capt.

Their joining strengthens our fight against injustice and gives a powerful message \u2014 that people want honest, service-driven politics. AAP will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them in every struggle for their community.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">AAP Goa stated that the party will continue expanding its footprint across tribal and rural regions, focusing on issues of healthcare, livelihood, education and social justice.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cBJP has betrayed the ST community \u2014 AAP\u2019s work inspires educated youth like us to join politics\u201d \u2013 Tejaswini Gaonkar \u201cAAP\u2019s health camps showed real service.
