PANAJI
In what comes as a huge shot in the arm for the Goa TMC, the entire Congress Canacona block committee including former Goa Pradesh Congress Committee Secretary Mahadev Desai joined Goa TMC on Friday.
In a press release, TMC stated that the induction was presided over by AITC National Vice-President Pavan Varma, Goa TMC Mahila President Avita Bandodkar and Goa TMC Youth President Jayesh Shetgaonkar and was held at the party office in Panaji. Former Congress block committee vice-president Rajendra Velip and over 50 executive block committee members along with several supporters joined the party with the hope and enthusiasm to usher in a ‘New Dawn’ in Goa.
Following his induction into the party, Mahadev Desai, who has also held the post of Canacona Municipal chief, said, "I had never thought that I’d work with the TMC but having gauged their intent and having seen their work on the ground, I’m convinced that it is the only party that can defeat the BJP and work in the interest of Goenkars. TMC's sun will rise from Canacona."
