Girish, Kamat under fire

MARGAO
Congress MLA Reginaldo Lourenco fired a salvo at the leader of the Opposition Digambar Kamat and the GPCC Chief Girish Chodankar for the party’s worst-ever performance in the Zilla Panchayat polls.

In fact, Reginaldo said that while Digambar and Girish were plotting to corner him politically, the people of Goa have taught a bitter lesson to the Congress party in the ZP polls.

The three-time Congress MLA said the fate of the Congress would not have come to the present state had the party leadership listened to his suggestions made by him three years ago.

“Instead of accepting and working on my suggestion to rebuild the party, both Digambar and Girish were working overtime to corner me in Curtorim constituency. I am told that Digambar even took a person to Goa desk in-charge, Gundu Rao, as a candidate for the Curtorim constituency. People of Goa have taught both Digambar and Girish in the election,” he said.

He said he has offered enough suggestions to the party leadership to strengthen the Congress in Goa.
