Social worker Shreha Dhargalkar says she will contest Lok Sabha polls from South Goa

PANAJI: Goan social worker and women’s rights activist Shreha Dhargalkar has declared that she will be contesting the Lok Sabha polls from South Goa.

She has already begun her prachar and publicity campaign and will be visiting her contacts and friends in South Goa next week to drum up support for her candidature.

Shreha was most visible during the Covid-19 pandemic, distributing food packets and cooked food to the underprivileged and poor in various parts of Goa. Besides her food distribution activity, she has taken up several women’s rights issues both in North and South Goa.

According to Shreha, she can easily get all the women’s votes as she has helped hundreds of women in the last 7 to 10 years in Goa. There will be a straight fight between the Congress-led I.N.D.I.A block and the BJP. In such a situation an independent candidate can make a big difference, feels Shreha. The Revolutionary Goans Party (RGP), a local outfit, has also fielded candidates in both Lok Sabha constituencies in Goa.
