MARGAO
Congress Goa desk in-charge, Manikrao Thakare has on Sunday asserted that the party doors are shut for all the defectors, be the eight defectors who quit the party in 2022 and the 10 Congress turncoats who embraced the BJP in 2019.
“All the defectors will not be taken back in the party. I can say this 100 per cent. Party top leader Rahul Gandhi has taken the decision that the defectors will have no place in the party in the future”, Thakare said, while addressing Congressmen from Margao on Sunday.
During the interaction, Thakare had to face questions from the Congressmen on the defectors and declaration of candidates well in advance.
In his reply, Thakare sounded categorical that the party doors are firmly shut for the defectors. “Traitors and defectors will have no more place in the party. The Congress will emerge stronger to defeat Digambar Kamat and the other defectors in the coming election”, he said.
