It's said, if you want to get through to a Goan's heart, make sure there's fresh fish on his or her plate. In a campaign mode Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) founder-convenor Arvind Kejriwal on June 28, 2016 chose fish, or rather the lack of it in Goa, as the ice-breaker in his address to a gathering in South Goa's Vasco town.

"I would only ask you one thing, can Goans survive without fish? So if Goans cannot survive without fish, then Goa cannot survive without fishermen... So any government which works against the interests of fishermen, that government is working against Goa," Kejriwal said.
