Cong needs to consider taking Reginaldo back

Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco has admitted his mistake in taking a hasty decision to join TMC which he has corrected by resigning from TMC. He has apologized to his supporters and friends with folded hands.

Reginaldo Lourenco has performed remarkably well as MLA even being in the opposition. The Congress Party should welcome him back in its fold without much ado. It is not in a position to be too choosy. They need clean persons like Reginaldo. If it could embrace a BJP MLA who broke its backbone by taking away 10 MLAs to the BJP, then it should not make any fuss in admitting it's longstanding, capable and clean MLA like Reginaldo. Hope saner counsels prevail.
