Congress workers should unitedly fight the Lok Sabha by-poll in South Goa scheduled on October 30, Chief Minister Digamber Kamat said today.
“We should unite and fight the polls. We are surely going to be victorious,” the Congress leader said while addressing a gathering of the party’s block presidents here. The party is yet to announce its candidate for the election.
Kamat assured the workers that right candidate will be selected by the party high command for the by-poll, necessiated by the resignation of Congress MP Churchill Alemao on May 8. Alemao later floated his own political outfit, Save Goa Front, and contested the Assembly election.
Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) president, Fransisco Sardinha, Home Minister Ravi Naik and Member of Parliament, Shantaram Naik, were present during the gathering.
Referring to the recent “attempt to destabilise” the Congress-led coalition govenment, Kamat said the party high command was aware of political happenings in the state.
Sardinha said the suggestions put forward by the party workers will be considered by high command while finalising the candidate for the by-poll.
“We will have to organise ourselves better to fight the election,” he stated.
