Mackelin Dourado served as the Sarpanch of the Majorda Panchayat from 1990 to 1994 and as a Panch from 1994 to 1998. Welcoming him into the party, Atishi stated that experienced leaders joining the party demonstrate the increasing confidence of Goans in AAP\u2019s vision and policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mackelin Dourado’s joining shows that many Goan leaders are inspired to join the Aam Aadmi Party due the vision of AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal and the party\u2019s commitment to working for the people of Goa. Goans are tired of the way BJP has looted Goa in every way, paving the way for big businesses and filling their own pockets while making the people suffer for even basic needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The growing footprint is also testament to AAP’s commitment in its mission to protect Goa\u2019s land, culture, identity and future for the coming generations.
