In a big boost to Goa Trinamool Congress in Cortalim constituency, four grassroots leaders (former Congress members) joined TMC in the presence of Rajya Sabha MP and AITC Goa co-incharge Sushmita Dev and Goa TMC leader Mariana Rodrigues.
Former INC Mahila Block President, Sultana Shaikh, former panch member and district Mahila Secretary, Antia Mudhaliyar, former INC Block Minority President, Manzoor Sayed, and former Youth Congress member Shehzad Khan joined the party.
Addressing the media, Sultana Shaikh said, “TMC has come with great energy. Every day I see that the youth are coming forward and joining the party because only TMC can defeat the BJP.”
Shehzad Khan said that he had joined the Goa TMC because of Mariana Rodrigues. “There are many problems and issues in the assembly constituency. Youth need a stable leader who will support them for a better future. We believe Mariana can play a pivotal role in this regard,” said Shehzad.
AITC Goa co-in charge Sushmita Dev and Mariana Rodrigues welcomed the grassroots leaders and promised to work together to oust the BJP in the upcoming polls.
