Panaji, Jan 19 (UNI) The Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) Chief Ministerial candidate Amit Palekar, an advocate by training, on Wednesday promised to give Goa a corruption free government if his party was elected to power in assembly elections next month.
Speaking after his name was announced by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for the top job, Palekar said: 'I guarantee you to give a corruption-free Goa with a vision, a Goa which everyone dreamt of, and which lost its identity during the last 20 years.
'We will get back that Goa for you. It is a guarantee, it is a promise to my father, to my family and the entire Goa,' he said.
He claimed that the AAP was going to form a government as the party was the best option before Goans.
Palekar also called for a strong anti-defection law in the country.
'Goa has become an encyclopedia for defections in the country. It is very bad. Leaders should resign and face the electorate if they wish to change parties,' he said.
He claimed that it would take just 24 hours to put things in order if there was a conviction to give a corruption-free administration.
Palekar alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government had failed on all fronts.

AAP has declared 30 candidates and extended support to an independent candidate for the February 14 elections.
