An ardent supporter of Luizinho Faleiro, Abdul Sattar Farash, on Saturday levelled serious charges that he was reportedly asked by Congress leader Digambar Kamat not to vote for Luizinho, but support an independent candidate in the 2017 Assembly election.

He further alleged that around 3 months ago, he and two others were told by Ibrahim to work for the defeat of Luizinho in the 2022 election in order to make Digambar the chief minister.

After addressing the TMC meeting at Luizinho’s residence, Abdul Sattar told the media that he had complained to then Congress leader Chella Kumar how he was told by Digambar not to support Luizinho, but he was asked to submit proof of his allegation.

“Three months ago, Ibrahim told us at his Cuncolim factory that we have to defeat Faleiro. Ibrahim further claimed that he had met AICC Goa desk in-charge, Dinesh Gundu Rao and it has been decided to make Digambar Kamat the Chief Minister”, Abdul Sattar claimed.
