Residents from Santa Cruz, Panaji, Dona Paula and several other parts of Goa participated both offline and online, directly engaging with AAP MLAs and raising pressing local concerns.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The programme was organised at the AAP office in Panaji. Many citizens attended in person and interacted directly with the MLAs, while others joined through live streaming and shared their concerns digitally.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">During the interaction, detailed discussions were held on key issues such as lack of basic civic amenities, inadequate healthcare services, land conversions, irregular water supply, the growing drug menace, rising crime, political interference in policing, accidents, and corruption in local administration.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>AAP Goa President Valmiki Naik said,<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cWe will take this initiative to more talukas of Goa. People of Benaulim and Velim gave us opportunity to serve Goa and we are here for everyone from Canacona to Pernem.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>AAP MLA Captain Venzy Viegas stated,<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThis is our attempt to take the voice of the common man to the Assembly. Every issue raised here will be studied and taken up strongly in the upcoming session.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>AAP MLA Engr. Cruz Silva assured the citizens, saying,<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cI want to assure everyone who came here that we will fight for your issues inside the Assembly. If departments fail to act, we will raise those matters forcefully in the House.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The MLAs further clarified that issues which can be resolved administratively at the departmental level should be addressed immediately. If officials act responsibly, further escalation will not be necessary. However, in cases of negligence or inaction, the matters will be formally raised in the Assembly.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Through the \u201cAAP MLA Connect\u201d initiative, the Aam Aadmi Party has once again reaffirmed its commitment to people-centric politics by directly taking citizens\u2019 voices to the State Legislature.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*\u201cWe will take this initiative to more talukas of Goa\u201d &#8211; Valmiki Naik* *\u201cThis is our attempt to take the voice of Common man to the assembly\u201d &#8211; MLA Venzy* *\u201cI want assure everyone who came that, we will fight for your issues in assembly\u201d &#8211; MLA Cruz* Goa Khabar:On Tuesday, 10th February, the Aam [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25169,"featured_media":109731,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[155,6],"tags":[3794],"class_list":["post-109730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-155","category-6","tag-featured"],"read":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goakhabar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goakhabar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goakhabar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goakhabar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/25169"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goakhabar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=109730"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.goakhabar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109730\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":109732,"href":"https:\/\/www.goakhabar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109730\/revisions\/109732"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goakhabar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/109731"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goakhabar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=109730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goakhabar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=109730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goakhabar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=109730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
