PANAJI
In a big boost to Goa TMC in Cuncolim, former Congress leader and Chairperson of Cuncolim Municipal Council Panzy Coutinho joined the party on Monday in the presence of AITC Goa co-incharge Sourav Chakraborty and Goa TMC Mahila Wing President Avita Bandodkar at the party office in Panaji.
Following her induction into the party, Panzy Coutinho said, "We need a stable Government in Goa. Congress is the sole reason why people's mandate was disrespected and BJP was able to form the Government in 2017. We want to undo this wrong. We want to change the tradition of politicians running after power and position. We want to transfer the power to the people."
Elaborating on why she joined the party, Coutinho said, "I decided to join Goa TMC after I saw their unprecedented outreach campaign on-ground. Goa TMC is providing the right platform to the voiceless and I want to join this movement."
Welcoming Coutinho, Bandodkar said, "I am delighted to welcome Panzy Coutinho into the party. She is a prominent and dynamic grassroots leader and has worked relentlessly for Goenkars. With her, Goa TMC will further strengthen its cadre in Cuncolim." Sourav Chakraborty added, "Panzy Coutinho is a wonderful addition to the Trinamool family in Goa. We hope to work diligently with her in realising our dream to usher in a ‘New Dawn’ in Goa."
