Chimbel: In India, elections like the festival, said.
There is nothing more true than Indiranagar in Chimbel, one of the largest slum bags in the state with almost 2,000 households.
And when Goa chose the assembly poll on Monday, two voice booths in this area watched the serpentine queue and chatting around it.
A group of men and women gathered at every corner, looking excited about all activities around.
The police posted in the slums must intervene every few minutes to get a group to disperse.
The young men on the bike climbed up and to the end of the narrow and hollow road in a crowded area, making their presence feel.
Chomping livestock that gets lost on a pile of garbage is also part of Milieu.
After all, only once in five years that Indiranagar residents felt seen, said a young Fiza Sayyed.
“They have given this area slum tags, which are comfortable because they don’t need to fix things around here.
There is a larger pile of garbage here only five days ago, which has just been cleaned now, in the process of election,” said Sayyed .
Residents said they felt used and cheated.
“They came here with money right before the election and only that.
There was no development over the next five years,” said a young woman.
The demand for locals is the basis such as the condition of a hygienic life.
“There is no sewerage system.
With garbage that is not lifted here, finally above the gutter strangling them.
We have to live with a smell.
Something as simple as the sewers need for years,” said a middle-aged woman, Mumtaz Khan.
Indiranagar is part of the Constituency of St Cruz, where MLA sits is Antonio Fernandes.
While Fernandes focused his attention on the day of voting in the villages of St Cruz and Merces, challengers, Rodolfo Fernandes Congress candidates and CM face AAP Amit Palangkar, was busy meeting voters here.
Rodolfo in his winning white SUV appeared only a few hours before the vote to close and interact with his main contact, just like the former MLA and his mother Victoria was known.
When he left, the palekar appeared to cheer from a group of young people, who said they saw new hope in him.
“The water supply here is also quite irregular.
Pak (palekar) will change these things,” Abhishek said, before a police officer appeared and asked him and his friends to dissolve.
In the midst of chaos, until the last hour of polling, the long queue of voters continued to march to provide their franchise in Indiranagar.
At least once in a polling room, ‘Slum’ has a sound.
