PANAJI: Revolutionary Goans Party (RG), which proved to be the dark horse in the recently-concluded state assembly elections, has now trained its guns on the coming panchayat elections. RG founder Manoj Parab said that the party will begin its work from April 1 as it looks to make inroads into Goa.
In a late night passionate appeal via Facebook, Parab sought funding as well as organisational support from people. Parab said that the party aims to have a stronger presence in the 40-member house in 2027 for which the party needs to prepare itself.
“RG will contest each and every election in Goa, whether it is Lok Sabha, whether it is zilla panchayat, municipality elections… we will run a campaign,” said Parab. “We need more people to be with us. We want everyone’s mentorship, guidance. We are young and we want people to guide us.”
Parab said that St Andre candidate Viresh Borkar’s victory has enthused the party workers, or boys as Parab refers to them. RG, which garnered a vote share of 9.5% or over 92,000 votes, has set itself a target of winning 3.5 lakh votes in the next elections.
“We will contest the panchayat elections. People want us to get into the system, to participate in the gram sabhas, to increase the attendance and to take up issues. The panchas and the sarpanchas have destroyed Goa, given NOCs, given voting permissions to migrants and allowed hill-cutting,” he said.
Those who voted for Congress, AAP, TMC and other parties, are vote splitters,” said Parab
