Is the Congress in Goa controlled by a handful of die-hard BJP sympathisers? Why is the grand old party of the country still not making efforts to rejuvenate the organisation by immediately packing off unfit grand-old papas like Pratapsingh Rane, Digambar Kamat, Ravi Naik and Luizinho Faleiro?
Today, some arrogant Congress leaders are seen making irresponsible statements and dreaming of fighting the next elections on their own despite being fully aware of definite split in secular votes due to the presence of parties like NCP and AAP in the fray.
They are bluffing Goans and telling them that they are seriously thinking of giving tickets to new faces this time to contest the upcoming assembly elections? Who knows, they might even welcome the backstabbers with open arms who are currently in the ruling dispensation and shamelessly give them tickets to permanently bury the Congress party to help the BJP form government for the third consecutive time in the State.
Today, the Congress is destroyed not by the opposition but from within by a handful of die-hard BJP sympathisers. Unless these trouble-makers are not identified and thrown out, there is absolutely no future for this grand old party.
