Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Monday hailed his party’s first victory in the Goa Zilla Panchayat elections, which marked the party’s first electoral history in the coastal state.
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Goa has made great strides in the Zilla Panchayat elections, winning 32 of the 49 seats on offer, while the opposition Congress performed poorly, with only four.
The AAP opened its account with Hanzel Fernandes, who won the Benaulim seat in South Goa.
“Congratulations to AAP Hanzel Fernandes for winning the Benaulim ZP seat in Goa. Many other AAP candidates have secured a much larger share of the vote than last time. This is just the beginning. I am confident that AAP will live up to Goans’ trust and expectations, ”tweeted the CM from Delhi.
AAP’s Goan convener, Rahul Mhambre, thanked the Goa people for placing their trust in the party.
“The leadership and volunteers will strive to work harder and meet the expectations of the voters and win their hearts.
To the people of Benaulim, thank you for giving AAP its first victory in Goa. AAP will work for Goa and Goans, ”he tweeted.
