INDIA bloc is mere ‘conglomeration of alphabets’, no force to make any impact: Goa BJP Gen Secy

Panaji, Jan 2 (IANS) In an apparent jibe at Opposition INDIA bloc, Goa BJP’s General Secretary and former MLA, Damodar Naik, has said that it is “mere conglomeration of alphabets and has no force to make any impact”.Speaking to IANS over current political situation in the country and Goa, Naik said that voters are vigilant and will not fall prey to any guarantees of the Opposition, which according to him never gets fulfilled.”Congress failed in 60 years of its rule to eradicate poverty. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is coming up with policies and schemes for the poor sections of society. I am confident that the trust people have in BJP will not be allowed to violate,” he added.”Opposition is targetting us over ‘murder of democracy’ only because they have no issues to raise. They are frustrated and hence they are levelling such unwanted allegations. This INDIA block is nothing but the conglomeration of ‘alphabets’, they have no force to make any impact. We are confident to win 400-plus seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha election and in Goa, we will win both the seats,” he said.Naik added that if Congress had delivered their promises, then they would have not been defeated and remained out of power.”People looked at us as an option and gave us an opportunity to form the government at the Centre and in Goa. Now poeple know how we are delivering and hence vigilant voters will never vote for the Opposition,” he said.”In Goa too, people have come to know that the state suffers when there is no stable government. They know that we can give and work in the interest of people. Hence, we are very much confident about victory,” he added.Naik alleged that the Congress government used to delay the completion of any development project only to escalate the estimates.”Congress is best known for corruption. They always delayed works of projects to pave the way for corruption. Now people know how development can be done in a pace manner,” the senior BJP leader said. Reacting to the allegations of opposition parties in Goa that BJP has stifled the voice of people and also of Opposition MLAs, Naik rejected the allegations saying they have no issues to raise.”Even, once, I was on the Opposition side benches. I feel that Opposition should be there for good democracy, but they should not spread misinformation,” he added.Expressing his thoughts about the import of MLAs from other parties, Naik said that sometimes it hurts party workers. “But now they have come to know that in
