Everson Vales

Shri Sharad Chopdecar -Chairman, OBC Department GPCC, along with Shri @NarvekarNagaraj- AICC National Coordinator and In-charge for Goa OBC Department, ZP member Shri Anthony Braganza, senior OBC leader Shri Bholenath Ghadi and other party leaders submitted a memorandum highlighting key OBC-related issues in Goa, to be raised in the forthcoming Assembly session. The delegation also expressed sincere gratitude to the LoP Shri @Yurialemao9 for his unwavering support in securing approval for OBC, SC, ST, and EBC communities in PG Medical and Dental Colleges through the implementation of the 100-point roster system for reserved categories.

Union Budget 2026 exposes how Goa was ignored. Despite Goa CM seeking ₹4,000 cr special package, ₹600 cr for coastal protection, ₹300 cr for GMC, and tourism skilling & concert economy support. Union budget gave Nothing. No Mhadei funds. No coastal protection. No health infra. No tourism skilling. Tax breaks for hotels, while villages lack roads & water. Tall claims. Zero commitment to Goa. This @BJP4India govt led by @DrPramodPSawant & his cabinet can’t fight for Goa. #GoaDemands #Budget2026 #BJPFailsGoa

Today, we led a delegation to the @CEO_Goa along with MLA @carlosgoa25, OBC Chairman Shri Nitin Chopdekar @MaheshNDR @SavioCouti23521 & party representatives, to strongly object to the deeply flawed SIR process. About 1.08 lakh voters have already been deleted from the draft roll without issuing any show-cause notice — in clear violation of the Supreme Court’s directions. With nearly 1.82 lakh more voters now at risk, this amounts to a direct attack on the democratic rights of Goans. We slammed the secrecy, haste, and lack of transparency, and demanded full transparency, voter awareness camps, and an extension of the rushed timeline. Congress will not tolerate voter suppression or any attempt to rig the electoral process. We will fight to protect every citizen’s right to vote. @ECISVEEP #SaveDemocracy #ProtectVoters #Goa #SIR #CongressForGoa

The felicitation of newly elected Zilla Panchayat Members by AICC Incharge @Manikrao_INC in the presence of AICC Secretary @DrAnjaliTai, GPCC President @amitspatkar , LS MP @ViriatoFern @carlosgoa25 , @MKShaikGoa, @VirenShirodkar, @SavioDsilvaa was not just a ceremony, it was a reminder of our strength. The mandate of the people echoed loudly, confidence surged and every Congress worker left knowing that we are rising, united and ready for the next battle.

A high-powered GPCC Executive Committee meeting, led by President Shri @amitspatkar with LoP @Yurialemao9 and Senior VP @MKShaikGoa laid out a sharp and uncompromising strategy for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and the upcoming ZP Elections. Executive Members, PCC Delegates and Block Presidents came together with one clear message Congress is fully mobilised, fully prepared, and ready to take the fight head-on. @kharge @RahulGandhi @INCIndia @Manikrao_INC @DrAnjaliTai @ViriatoFern @carlosgoa25 @altone_d

During the GPCC Executive Committee meeting, I urged members to stay vigilant about political developments and the "Vote Chori". The current government's manipulations have led to an illegal usurpation of power, and our leader, LoP Rahul Gandhi, has exposed their plans to replicate this in other states. With the upcoming Zilla Panchayat elections in Goa, it's crucial we make informed choices. Let us work together to protect the democratic process and ensure the people's voice is heard. @INCGoa @INCIndia

Congratulations to Shri @kharge Ji on completing three years as @INCIndia President. Your fearless leadership and unwavering commitment have strengthened Congress as the true voice of the people. Under your guidance, our fight to safeguard democracy, the Constitution, and the rights of every Indian grows stronger each day. #CongressForIndia #Congress

Participated in the #VoteChori Signature Campaign at Chief Minister @DrPramodPSawant’s own constituency Sanquelim. If the CM himself believes in democracy, he should explain why @BJP4Goa resorts to money, muscle, and manipulation to steal people’s mandate. Goa deserves leaders chosen by votes — not by betrayal. #SaveDemocracy #GoaCongress

Lunch politics or one may say politics over lunch.😀 At Delhi with the @INCGoa team, all laughs over a tasty lunch. LoP of Goa @Yurialemao9 ji, PCC President @amitspatkar ji, CWC member and @INCTamilNadu incharge @girishgoaINC ji, MP of South Goa @ViriatoFern ji and MLA @carlosgoa25 ji missed our Incharge @Manikrao_INC ji as he had a flight to catch.

Held a crucial meeting with North Block Presidents & BLAs of Mandrem. @INCGoa is fully battle-ready. This is not just preparation — this is a fight for democracy. From every booth to every block, we will stop Vote Chori and defeat BJP’s betrayal of the people’s mandate. #VoteChori #GoaWithCongress #SaveDemocracy

Today, we held an extensive training session for all BLA 1 representatives across all 40 constituencies of Goa. Present were LOP @Yurialemao9 & other functionaries. @INCGoa is gearing up with full strength and meticulous planning for all upcoming elections. Our focus remains clear – protecting Goa’s identity, empowering people, and defeating BJP’s corrupt politics. No force can stop us from exposing BJP’s corruption & delivering justice to Goans. Together, we will safeguard democracy and ensure victory for the people of Goa. ✊ #TeamCongress #Goa

Today’s peaceful march from Goa PCC HQ to the @CEO_Goa was met with @BJP4Goa ’s misuse of police force—an act aimed at stopping us from exposing the truth. We have found shocking discrepancies and fake entries in Goa’s voter list. This electoral fraud strikes at the very foundation of democracy. Instead of allowing us to submit our findings, the BJP Government chose to block us, proving they fear accountability and the people’s voice. @INCGoa will not be silenced. The fight for free & fair elections will continue—inside and outside the streets—until every vote is real, and every voter is genuine. #SaveDemocracy #GoaCongress #StandWithGoa #INDIA

I strongly extend my support to the nationwide protest by AITUC at Azad Maidan. The @BJP4India Govt continues to ignore the voices of workers—no job security, poor wages, and growing exploitation. In Goa too, the working class has been treated with utter injustice—contract workers, daily wagers, KTC employees, Anganwadi workers, Mining workers and industrial labourers are suffering due to the government’s apathy. This is not just a protest, it’s a fight for dignity and justice. @INCGoa stands firmly with Goa’s working class. #AITUCProtest #WorkersRights #CongressWithWorkers #Goa

Held an engaging and productive meeting with the Congress Block Committee of Velim. We discussed key local issues, booth-level preparedness, and strategies to further strengthen our grassroots network. Also present were @INCSGoa President @SavioDsilvaa, GS @valeseverson, Block President Francisco Rodrigues, @MaheshNDR, and dedicated Block Congress committee members. Our collective effort is the strength of Goa Congress — let’s continue working towards a stronger, people-centric Goa. #GoaCongress #AmitPatkar #GrassrootsConnect @kharge @RahulGandhi @INCIndia @INCGoa @kcvenugopalmp @Manikrao_INC @DrAnjaliTai @Yurialemao9 @ViriatoFern @carlosgoa25 @altone_d

Attended the Samvidhan Bachao Abhiyan at Mandrem Block to raise our collective voice against the ongoing attacks on the Constitution. Joined by LoP @Yurialemao9, @bhaikhalap, @GurudasNatekar, Babi Bagkar, @VirenShirodkar, @RajanGhate, @AmarnathAldona, Block President Narayan Redkar, @PratikshaKhalap and other dedicated Congress workers. Together, we reaffirmed our pledge — to protect the Constitution, uphold democracy, and defend the soul of India. #SamvidhanBachaoAbhiyan #SaveTheConstitution #GoaCongress @kharge @RahulGandhi @INCIndia @INCGoa @kcvenugopalmp @Manikrao_INC @DrAnjaliTai @ViriatoFern @carlosgoa25 @altone_d

The public trial of a doctor destroyed all protocol. This is no way to manage. #GoaMedicalCollege and health services. No politician can usurp the powers of the administrative, executive and denigrate government officers with planned and organised visual recording and broadcast.

Had a meaningful & strategic meeting with Honourable @INCIndia President Shri @kharge Ji, along with CLP Leader @YuriAlemao9 Ji. Invited him for the Goa Statehood Day celebrations on 30th May, and he graciously accepted. We discussed in detail the political situation in Goa and laid out the roadmap for the 2027 Assembly Elections. Shri Kharge Ji’s presence in Goa will energise our cadre and inspire confidence across the @INCGoa organisation. His unwavering faith in the Goa Congress leadership strengthens our resolve to take the BJP head-on. The movement to reclaim Goa’s future has begun—united, determined, and ready. #Mission2027 #INCGoa #CongressRising

Today, a new chapter in Goa’s political awakening began. I had the honour of welcoming Shri Chirag D. Naik into the @INCIndia—a young and bold voice choosing integrity over opportunism, and people over power. His induction took place in the esteemed presence of AICC Incharge Shri @Manikrao_INC, Co-Incharge @DrAnjaliTai, Leader of Opposition Shri @Yurialemao9, and CWC Member Shri @girishgoaINC — a collective reflection of Congress unity and leadership. Shri Naik’s decision is a clear rejection of the BJP’s failed governance and a powerful step towards restoring Goa’s democratic soul. Under my leadership, @INCGoa is preparing for Zilla Panchayat 2025 and Mission 2027 with grassroots energy, people-centric vision, and fearless resolve. This is not just politics—it is a movement to reclaim Goa for Goenkars. #CongressForGoa #GoaDeservesBetter #ZP2025 #AmitPatkar

Chaired a meeting with the newly appointed Block Presidents of North Goa at Congress HQ, Panaji. In the presence of @INCNGoa District President @VirenShirodkar, North Goa District GSO @P9Pranav, @IYCGoa Working President @MaheshNDR and Social Media Chairman @DivyakumarGoa, we discussed the roadmap to strengthen the Congress organization at the grassroots. With fresh energy and committed leadership, the Congress Party is gearing up to connect, mobilize, and lead with purpose across North Goa. #AmitPatkar #CongressForGoa #NorthGoaCongress
