The newly appointed AICC incharge for Goa, Manikrao Thakare during his two-day visit to the state has expressed his hope that the Congress party will win both the Parliamentary seats in the ensuing Lok Sabha polls in Goa. Now, what does Manikrao Thakare really know about the style of functioning of the Congress party in Goa? Well, the way leaders like Adv Carlos Alvares Ferreira are being treated/sidelined today by some so-called 'party leaders', office-bearers, MLAs (which includes the GPCC President Amit Patkar) and after seeing the ongoing open groupism within the Congress party, it looks like the party will surely even lose the South Goa seat this time in the ensuing Lok Sabha polls in Goa. I therefore feel that the newly appointed AICC incharge Manikrao Thakare should first try to put the Congress house in order on top priority basis in the state, learn to take the advice of some sincere/honest gutsy leaders from the party and then dream of reclaiming/retaining at least the South Goa seat in the ensuing Lok Sabha polls in Goa.
