TMC will give new dimension to politics


The recent resignation of Congress veteran from Navelim Luizinho Faleiro has sent shockwaves across Goa. 

He was a senior politician for the last forty years and had very good contacts with the national leaders. 

He claims that he suffered silently for the last four years after he was denied permission to form the government in 2017 by Digvijay Singh despite Congress having a clear majority.

The Congress needs to introspect on this issue and later where 10 of their MLAs switched sides. 

When people elect their representatives, they should be loyal to the voters. Luizinho by resigning from the Congress has dealt another serious blow to the grand old party.

The likely move of him to join TMC will give Goans another choice. TMC’s entry into Goa will present a new wave to Goan politics.
