He was accompanied by his party’s legislative wing led by Chandrakant Kavlekar and hundreds of supporters.

 Speaking to reporters after filing nomination papers, Chodankar said that he wants to be the voice of Goans in the Parliament. “I want to be the voice of Goans that remained unraised and unheard in the Parliament for past 20 years. I want to be the voice of common man,” he said.

Meanwhile, Congress’ candidate from South Goa Parliamentary seat former MP Francisco Sardinha will be filing his nominations tomorrow.
