MARGAO
Who’s Trinamool Congress candidate against Congress de facto Chief Ministerial candidate Digambar Kamat in Margao?
This question has come to the fore, even as the Mamata-led TMC has almost prepared the ground to take on the Congress in the party stronghold Salcete, barring Margao.
This question has assumed significance and comes against the backdrop of TMC’s prized catch, Congress working president, Reginaldo Lourenco, for the Curtorim seat.
So far, the TMC has roped in Digambar Kamat’s close aide and former Margao Municipal Council Chairperson Doris Texeira. Since then, one has not seen any noticeable activity of the TMC in Kamat’s fiefdom. With Congress-turned-TMC leaders such as Luizinho Faleiro and Reginaldo Lourenco, besides NCP-turned-TMC leader Churchill Alemao, having an axe to grind against the Opposition leader, questions are being asked whether the TMC has shortlisted any candidate for Margao or are working behind the scenes to unveil a candidate to cross swords against Kamat in his fiefdom.
