But AAP should not consider that crowd of 7,000-8,000 that had gathered for their public meeting would convert into votes.”
He further stated, “No party can grow overnight. BJP took 25 years to grow in the state (Goa) and become a strong pillar.”
AAP’s public held on May 22 was chaired by leader Arvind Kejriwal.
Mr. Parsekar responding to the question said that he is very happy to see that one more political party has been added to the list of opposition in the state.

As said by Parsekar AAP will have to work at least for five years to set up their base in Goa.
According to Chief Minister Opposition parties become active only in run-up to elections.

AAP has already announced that the party will contest all 40 seats in the coastal state.
