The focus finally fell on the very good speech delivered by Vijay Sardesai who disclosed how fearful it is to elect the Parties whose High Command is based in Delhi from where all anti-Goan decisions are taken. GF High Command is based in Goa only from where all pro-Goa decisions will be taken. Delhiwalas first started “land grab” in Goa and now under BJP “river grab” is started which we must stop. It is a time for us Goans to put an end to the slavery we suffer from Delhi High Commands of Congress, BJP and AAP.

He showed his displeasure over Congress Party over its reluctance on having alliance with like minded parties such as Goa Forward quoting Bihar where if it can have a similar alliance then why not in Goa? It is a matter of survival in Goa now for which GF will work very hard even by occupying opposition benches. Quoting Abraham Lincoln, Vijay said that to know its character people of Goa gave a mandate to BJP to rule Goa but during its past over 4 years BJP showed its real character of taking “U” Turns thus making mess of Goa.
