Union Home Minister Amit Shah who was addressing an election rally in the Bicholim assembly constituency in North Goa, said that voters in Goa had two clear choices ahead of the February 14 elections — either vote for a Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party or cast ballot in favour of dynasty-ridden party like the Congress.
“History is witness that if Jawaharlal Nehru’s leadership was decisive, then right after India got independence on August 15, 1947, Goa should have been liberated soon after,” the Union Home Minister said. Goa was eventually liberated from Portuguese yoke in 1961. Shah further said that the people of Goa had sampled BJP and Congress rules and knew what the two administrations represented. “The people of Goa have witnessed both governments.
The Congress rule was marked by instability and anarchy. BJP’s government was about stability and development. This time all BJP workers are working for a hat trick in Goa,” the Union Home Minister said.
