Large turnout of people at AAP rally doesn't translate into votes: Goa CM

Panaji, May 25 (UNI) Two days after Aam Adami Party (AAP) convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejariwal held a rally in the city and claimed that his party will contest all 40 seats in the state Assembly elections, tentatively to be held early next year, Goa Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar today said people turning up in large numbers does not mean that they will vote for AAP.
Addressing a press conference in the Secretariat at Porvorim, the Chief Minister said, ''I have learnt that around seven to eight thousand people had turned up. In democracy everybody has a right to launch a political party and now Goa will have one more political party. I have no problem. But there is no guarantee that the turning up of people in large numbers will turn into votes.''
In response to the claim made by Mr Kejariwal that people of Goa was fed up with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government and will vote for AAP in the next assembly election, he remarked, ''People of Goa are very smart.''
There is no row at position 0.
