Campaigning for the upcoming Ponda Assembly by-election intensified after Congress candidate Carlos Ferreira made a strong appeal to voters, urging them to support the Indian National Congress at the ballot box.
Addressing supporters during an election campaign, Ferreira remarked that if anyone offered voters money during the campaign, they could accept it but should ultimately cast their vote for the Indian National Congress. The statement has sparked political discussion as campaigning gathers momentum ahead of polling.
Ferreira maintained that the election is about choosing honest and accountable leadership for Ponda, calling on residents to vote according to their conscience and in the best interests of the constituency.
With the by-election entering its final phase, political parties have stepped up outreach efforts, public meetings, and door-to-door campaigns in a bid to secure voter support. The contest is expected to be closely watched as parties intensify their campaigns across the constituency.
