Goa Khabar:I<\/strong>n a major boost to AAP\u2019s ZP campaign in Navelim, Dy. Sarpanch of Telaulim and former Congress women leader Defa Fernandes officially joined the Aam Aadmi Party today. The joining took place in the presence of AAP MLA Capt. Venzy Viegas, MLA Engr. Cruz Silva, and AAP\u2019s Navelim ZP candidate Beatris D\u2019Souza.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Defa Fernandes, while addressing media, said:<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u201cCongress is compromised from within. They are openly helping the BJP. Their leaders ask lakhs of rupees for ZP tickets. I cannot associate with this corrupt culture. Today, only AAP is fighting BJP on the ground. I will fully support Beatris D\u2019Souza and AAP in Navelim.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
MLA Capt. Venzy Viegas said:<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u201cWhether it is Rivona, Cuncolim or North Goa, Congress is clearly helping the BJP win. Their candidate selections expose their internal compromises. Unlike Congress MLAs, we never betrayed the people of Goa \u2014 we remain firmly with AAP, fighting for Goans.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
MLA Engr. Cruz Silva said:<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u201cEven Congress workers and leaders are now exposing their own MLAs and AICC incharges. Just today, a Congress leader slammed his own party for compromising with the BJP. People are fed up with this hypocrisy \u2014 that\u2019s why leaders like Defa are joining AAP.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
AAP Navelim ZP candidate Beatris D\u2019Souza said:<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u201cOur campaign in Navelim is in full swing. We are visiting every home, sharing AAP\u2019s work on ground. People have benefited from our free clinics and health camps, and they are responding positively. With Defa joining AAP and extending her support to me, our fight in Navelim becomes even stronger.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
AAP stated that Defa Fernandes\u2019 entry will play an important role in strengthening the Navelim organisational team and energising women voters.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
