AAP national convener and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday announced Amit Palekar as the CM face for Goa assembly polls.


During a press conference in Panaji, Kejriwal said the party will be contesting all the 40 Assembly seats in Goa.



Kejriwal had held door-to-door campaigning on Sunday in Cortalim village of Goa, which is scheduled to go to the polls this February. As a part of the campaign, Kejriwal along with other party members was seen interacting with voters in Cortalim.


Pamphlets were distributed to the voters during the campaign. Kejriwal has promised cash assistance of Rs 1,000 per month for every woman above the age of 18 years if his party came to power in the state in the 2022 Assembly elections.
