Ahead of the Goa Assembly election next month, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday announced noted Goa-based lawyer and social activist Amit Palekar as its Chief Ministerial candidate.
Palekar is famous for intervening in the Oxygen crisis case that led to the investigation of the Govt’s response. His mother has been the Sarpanch of Merces village for 10 years. Palekar who is well known for his social work in Merces and St Cruz in general joined AAP because AAP is the only party talking about development be it on healthcare, education or in case of employment. Palekar praised Arvind Kejriwals vision and will to bring development in reality.
Palekar is noted social worker and Sr Advocate. Along with the Rotary
club he has donated 185 beds in GMC’s Super speciality wing. Palekar
closely worked to help Covid patients get the care they need. In the
middle of the pandemic it was because of his hard work that many
residents of StCruz received aid while the Govt was sleeping. Palekar is
a well known face with the residents of StCruz and his mother has been
Merces Sarpanch for 10 years.
