Cuncolim, Aug 2026 : From Cuncolim Police Station, AAP leaders & villagers led by Goa President Valmiki Naik launched a campaign against BJP’s Gundaraj. The campaign was launched when despite a brutal attack on AAP Working President and Sarpanch Gerson Gomes police refused to arrest the accused, BJP worker Malcolm Pereira.
Villagers and AAP leaders had gathered at Cuncolim Police station this afternoon after spending the entire night camped at the Police station and Malcolm Pereira was yet not arrested.
AAP President Valmiki Naik said over last few year be it attack on activists or political leaders the government was seen sheilding the attackers. This Government is bring and promoting Gundaraj in Goa. He appealed to Goans to unite and fight this Gundaraj.
Protesters were also joined by Gersons 94 year old mother. AAP MLA Cruz Silva pointed out that it was shame and failure of the system that today a 94 year old woman has to come to the police station to demand justice for her son.
MLA Capt Venzy Viegas stated that the message BJP is sending is that as long as you are with BJP you can do anything to anyone whether elected representative or in Govt.
AAP Sr Vice President Sandesh Teleikar-Dessai stated that this attack is not just an attack on a person but on the position of Sarpanch. And the laxity on the BJP’s behalf is proof that they stand with the attacker not the victim.
Angry villagers demanded to know why the police is taking the attack on Gerson Gomes so lightly and asked if a Sarpanch can be attacked then what about the common Goans.
The Aam Aadmi Party had in the past named Pramod Sawant as the Crime Minister of Goa, and now in the wake of the Shoot out at the Porvorim Casino, attack on Gerson Gomes and the impunity with how thugs and goons are operating in Goa it seems that the name is well suited
