Goa should remain united and all communities should be protected.” Soares said.

Girish Chodankar speaking on the occasion said that Congress has always protected communal harmony of Goa and further too will protect all communities. “We are optimistic to win the Ponda seat along with others and form a stable government.” Chodankar said.
