Quepem: Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat has held BJP-led government responsible for the death of almost 2700 people who died due to COVID-19.
He said that while so many people have died due to “apathy and negligence” of the government, the BJP was celebrating “Tika Utsav.”
He was speaking at the Installation Programme of Quepem Block Youth Congress. GPCC President Girish Chodankar, General Secretary Subhash Fal Dessai, South Goa District Congress President Joe Dias, Youth Congress President Adv. Varad Mardolkar, Congress Leader Altone D’Costa, South Goa Youth Congress President Ubed Khan, Melvin Carvalho, Prashant Velip and Adv. Archit Naik were also present.
Due to Covid Pandemic social distancing protocol only 30 youths representing almost 350 youths from various wards of Panchayats and Municipalities were enrolled in the Youth Congress today.
The Youth Congress team has created a place in the hearts of Goans with their outstanding work of supplying oxygen to the Covid patients and extending other help in this Covid Pandemic. They did not do any publicity of their social work and focussed more on the blessings of the people and the beneficiaries. We are confident that the strength of the Youth Congress in Quepem will once again ensure victory of the Congress Candidate in Quepem stated Digambar Kamat while addressing the youths.
BJP Government has announced compensation to those who have lost their lives due to Covid. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced an amount of Rs. 4 lakhs each and the Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant has declared an amount of Rs. 2 lakhs each to the families of the Covid Victims. I appeal to the Youth Congress to provide all necessary help to the families of the Covid Victims in receiving the total amount of Rs. 6 lakhs from the Government stated Congress President Girish Chodankar.
People of Quepem are ready to teach Deputy Chief Minister Babu Kavlekar a lesson for betraying them and the Congress Party. The sharp decrease in the vote share of the candidates supported by Babu Kavlekar in the Zilla Panchayat and Municipal Elections is a clear indication that his graph is coming down. All Congress workers must work with full strength to defeat the defectors said Girish Chodankar.
Congress Party will create history in the coming Assembly Elections by defeating those who betrayed the peoples mandate for selfish gains said Alton D’Costa.
After seeing our work in the Covid Pandemic, the people of Goa are looking at us with hope, trust and confidence. I appeal to all the Youth Congress members to work tirelessly and reach out to those in need said Youth Congress President Adv. Varad Mardolkar.
I will work to build up a strong team of the Youth Congress in Quepem with the support and guidance of Senior Congress Leaders. The thirty members who have joined today are representatives of ten more members. We will ensure that our strength is doubled in Quepem Constituency said newly appointed Quepem Block Congress President Prashant Velip.
One minute silence was observed to pay tributes to all those who lost lives in Covid Pandemic. Adv. Archit Naik compeered the function.
AAP has given 1 Cr. For the Frontline Warriors who died of Covid-19 Disease. Hope BJP will do the same in Goa.
