BJP National President J P Nadda on Tuesday asserted that BJP needs to ve voted to power to complete former chief minister late Manohar Parrikar’s dream of Golden Goa with the help of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the centre.
Addressing a public meeting in Navelim, Nadda said, “BJP means development and development means BJP, for other parties development is just a slogan. BJP has a leader, their policy, humility and has the power to create something new. The other party does not have it and that is why BJP should come to power at the Center and in Goa. Prime Minister Narendra Modi empowered the country by saying that BJP works for the development”.
He said BJP has raised the living standards of all communities in the state. "BJP does not believe in politics of caste or religion, Congress used the minority only for votes, but on the other hand BJP has raised the living standards of the minorities and the poor by giving them the benefit of various schemes," he said.
Taking a dig at the TMC, he said that “we do not want to make Goa another West Bengal where the unemployment rate is high and also leads the country as far as the number of cases of human trafficking is concerned. We do not want to see Goa become another Bengal on the contrary”.
