Yesterday, 1st February 17, at 7.30 PM, Congress Party held its meeting opposite the Calangute Church in support of Congress Candidates in Calangute and Saligao, namely Joseph Sequeira and Agnel Fernandes respectively and it was attended by a huge number of attendees coming from Calangute, Candolim, Arpora, Nagoa, Parra, Saligao and other neighbouring villages. Rarely such a mammoth meeting was held in Calangrute in the recent past. But this time it is Joseph Sequeira wave in Calangute in support of Congress since BJP has lost its trust. Secondly BJP’s communal agenda and anti-Christian mood and actions has created fear of BJP into the minds of the people.

Every speaker local as well as emissary coming from Congress High Command in their speeches tore the local BJP government and the local BJP MLA into pieces for their failure to fulfill the given promises. It looks people are solidly behind Congress and Sequeira in Calangute which may have him a facile victory.

Why people should vote for Congress? Congress may be bad but BJP is the worst because it does not believe in Secularism. It shows signs of going for Theocratic system by destroying Christians and other minorities. Congress with all its defects is a secular party believing in secularism giving full religious freedom to Christians. Under BJP our religious freedom is in danger. For us to live a full-fledged Christian life in Goa, we will have to elect Congress candidate in Calangute, i.e. Joseph Sequeira. Our survival depends upon Congress victory and only secular Congress can guarantee us the minorities the life security and dignity as citizens of this country. Electing BJP is risking our life security as Christians. Our survival as Christian community is in danger under BJP. Hence, electing Congress candidate Joseph Sequeira in Calangute is imperative.
