Opposition leader and senior Congress leader Digambar Kamat said that he is not in any race for the position Goa State Congress Committee President.
No discussion has been held with the Congress high command, over the issue of the resignation of state Congress President Girish Chodankar, Kamat said on Monday.
After the party has faced debacle in the Zilla panchayat election, Digambar along with Girish has visited the Congress high command in Delhi. Speaking about the visit Kamat clarified that visit was not meant to discuss about the leadership issue in the state and he is not in any race for Goa State Congress Committee President.
"I along with the state president were called to Delhi for a review of the actual situation in the state. We discussed issues related to the membership, booth committee organisation and an analysis of the ZP results," Kamat said.
"There was no discussion on the issue of state Congress president (resignation) during my visit to Delhi, therefore I cannot say anything about it", Kamat clarified specifically.
Chodankar had submitted his resignation to Congress president Sonia Gandhi on December 17, days after the party managed to win only four out of the 39 ZP seats in the December 12 elections. The BJP won 33 seats.
The party has however not accepted his resignation and Chodankar continues to hold the top post of the party in the state.
Meanwhile, Digambar has appealed all parties to put forward concerted efforts to corner BJP in the upcoming assembly session.
