A day after the party’s drubbing in the ZP by-poll in Davorlim and Cortalim, the Congress leadership went into a huddle at the South Goa district office to analyse the reasons behind the debacle and steps needed to strengthen the party at the grassroots.
The election results review meeting took place between Davorlim ZP candidate Leon Raikar and State Congress functionaries led by GPCC president Amit, CLP Leader Yuri Alemao, senior vice president M K Shaikh at the South Goa district Congress office.
"This is a step towards analysing and strengthening Congress at the grassroot level," said State Congress president Amit Patkar after the meeting.
The party leaders also had an interaction with Cortalim ZP candidate Valent Barbosa and party functionaries in the Cortalim constituency as part of the review.
"We will take steps and corrective measures to make Congress strong," informed CLP Leader Yuri Alemao.
The meetings were attended by general secretaries Subhash Faldessai and Pradip Naik, Viriato Fernandes, Olencio Simoes, Everson Vales, Orville Dourado Rodrigues, Succor, Peter D'Souza and other functionaries.
“We have taken feedback and we will start working from now. We are confident to take corrective steps and overcome the shortcoming,” stated M K Shaikh.
