"Arvind Kejriwal has provided a way forward not just for the Youths but for all of Goa," said Hanzel Fernandes, AAP Goa General Secretary (Youth).
"The BJP and Congress, have always used the youth as a political campaign weapon but after elections, the youth have been heavily ignored by subsequent Governments," said Dr Vibhas Prabhudesai.
