Goa Forward

On the day we celebrate Lord Ram's righteousness, the ruling party is busy destroying democratic municipalities. Opaque delimitation. Delayed surveys. Wards merged without clarity. Reservations manipulated. This is not Ram Raj. This is Ravan Raj. We demand transparency. . . #RavanRaj #MunicipalElections #GoaDeservesBetter #GoaForwardParty

Visited the SGPDA wholesale market today following the uproar over alleged land filling. What I found instead: the PWD is developing road shoulders leading to the wholesale fish market to prevent roadside parking and ease congestion. That’s a necessary step, but incomplete. I have urged the PWD to immediately construct proper drainage alongside these shoulders. Without it, runoff will choke the Maddel Nullah, creating an even bigger problem down the line. But let’s be clear, the overall condition of the wholesale fish market is a complete disaster. • Roads are blocked • Parking is in chaos • Basic housekeeping is non-existent Shockingly, the housekeeping contract has been handed to a politically connected agent who isn’t even maintaining cleanliness. So the question is simple: Where is the money going? And into whose pockets? This isn’t governance. This looks like nothing more than a system of hafta collection. Public contracts must benefit the public, not a select few. Give opportunities to capable local stakeholders, not cronies. Goa deserves far better. #SGPDAScam #HaftaRaj #GoaDeservesBetter #GoaForwardParty

राम नवमी हो फकत एक उत्सव न्हय. ती एक याद जी चुकीचेर सदांच बरोच जैतिवंत जाता आनी सत्य हे सदांच जैतिवंत आसता. गोंया खातिरच्या ह्या लढ्यांत, आमी ह्या विश्वासातल्यान बळगें घेतात. मार्ग कितलोय कठीण आसलो तरी आमी तो प्रामाणीकपणान आनी धैर्यान चलतले. हो पवित्र दीस मनोवपी सगळ्यांक परबी. . . #RamNavami #Blessings #GoaForwardParty

The State Executive of the GFP has endorsed our President’s stand in the House and said it has forgiven and forgotten whatever that subsequently happened. For us this chapter is truly closed. We have no intention to open another chapter even if someone else wants to. They should rather not waste time and work for the ongoing campaign for the bypolls.

GFP held its State Executive meeting, decided to strengthen the party across 25 constituencies. The party reaffirmed its alliance with Congress, confirming it will not place a candidate in for Ponda by-election and will support the Congress candidate. GFP expressed solidarity with the Mirabag agitation and the Enough is Enough movement, while also announcing a public meeting on Goa Statehood Day. Addressing recent criticism, party leaders made it clear that the fight is against the BJP, not within the opposition.

GFP Executive Member Fredy Travasso on the way forward: "This Lent season is about forgiveness and moving forward." Unity in opposition begins with letting go. The fight is against BJP, not each other. . . #GoaForwardParty

Congress President Amit Patkar and I, along with party office bearers, visited the police station over the disturbing incidents in Curchorem. We demanded swift action and made it clear, the safety of our people, especially minors, will not be compromised. We will not rest until justice is served. . . #Justice #GoaForwardParty

JUSTICE FOR MINOR VICTIMS! GFP President Vijai Sardesai and Congress President Amit Patkar, along with party office bearers, confronted the Curchorem Police Inspector today, demanding that the POSCO Act and Goa Children's Act be applied in the sex scandal case. When the Inspector hesitated, Vijai and Amit reached out to DGP Alok Kumar. Minutes later, the PI confirmed both Acts would be invoked. Children were failed. But today, leaders stood up, and the system moved. No more delays. No more shielding. Justice will be served. . . #JusticeForCurchorem #POSCO #GoaChildrensAct #GoaForwardParty

This Eid, let’s spread love, peace, and the spirit of togetherness! Eid ul-Fitr Mubarak to everyone. . . #EidMubarak #Unity #Blessings #GoaForwardParty

CLP leadership’s insecurity is now visible, their fight isn't against the government, it's within the opposition. When unity within the opposition is compromised for personal gains, the only beneficiary is the government. . . #GoaForwardParty #AmchoAvazVijai

I stand with the people of Mirabag! Yesterday along with GFP office bearers, Durgadas Kamat General Secretary (Org), Deepak Pawaskar, Former Minister, Meshu D'costa, Social Activist, Sanket Bandari, Social Activist, Vikas Bhagat, Joint Secretary, and Devidas Amonkar, Senior Artist & Social Activist, we continue to stand in with every villager fighting to scrap the project. This fight is not over, we won’t stop until justice is served! . . #GoaForwardParty

First time in Goa's history, the state budget was bulldozed without discussion. GFP President, Vijai Sardesai, who was minister in 2013 when Vote on Account was taken, demanded the same constitutional route be followed. He stayed inside the House deliberately to raise this. Then walked out because he didn’t want to be a part of the illegal passing of the budget. Vijai chose principle. On record. In the House. . . #GoaForwardParty

Standing firmly with the people of Mirabag. GFP President Vijai Sardesai along with party office bearers, Durgadas Kamat, General Secretary (Org), Deepak Pawaskar, Former Minister, Social Activists, Meshu D’costa, GFP Rivona, Sanket Bandari, Joint Secretary, Vikas Bhagat, and Devidas Amonkar, Senior Artist & Social Activist, continue to stand in solidarity with the villagers opposing the bandhara project. The people of Mirabag never asked for this project. They asked for answers. They asked for transparency. They asked for their homes and temples to be protected. Vijai Sardesai and Goa Forward remain committed to this fight, until the project is scrapped and justice is delivered. . . #GoaForwardParty #AmchoAvazVijai

GFP's senior leaders hit back at the unfair blame on our President, Vijai Sardesai. Joint Secretary Vikas Bhagat and Freddy Travasso made it clear, that Vijai has always fought for the people, exposed scams, and stood his ground for what is right. The party stands firmly with him, and such baseless attacks will not be tolerated. . . #GoaForwardParty
