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.
