Remo takes time off politics, embraces music full-time

PANAJI: With AAP's popularity on the wane across the nation, another member's enthusiasm decreases-and just ahead of the polls. Less than three months after he joined the Aam Aadmi Party as a party worker, musician Remo Fernandes has announced that he is returning, full-time to his music.
In a post on Facebook, the singer-songwriter admitted to distancing himself from politics, as it was 'strangling the music' in him.

"...But the mind-space required in politics is full of... well, politics. External and, most unfortunately, internal. Enough to kill music in me forever," he wrote. "I have therefore returned full-time to the first and greatest love of my life," he wrote.
The post was apparently in response to people wondering where Remo had disappeared to just ahead of the election. Fernandes had joined Aam Admi Party in December last year.
In Thursday's post he said that he still supported AAP, and that he had given away his 'double premises' in a prime locality in Panaji, rent-free, for AAP offices. "I shall continue, as always, to use my music and my art to fight for what I believe is right. And I'm sure there are people as capable as me, or more capable than me, of bringing AAP up," the note read.
The long post had by Thursday evening, received 530 'likes', with most people congratulating him on the decision, and expressing 'relief that wisdom has prevailed', in their comments.
