Panaji, Feb 20 (UNI) The Congress on Thursday challenged its former ten MLAs who joined Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) last year to resign their post and seek fresh mandate of the people.
Speaking to UNI, Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) Spokesperson Urfan Mulla said the Congress would challenge them to resign as MLAs and then re-contest on BJP’s ticket from their respective Assembly constituencies.
'If they think they can get re-elected on BJP’s ticket, they should try their luck. These MLAs got elected in the 2017 polls on Congress’ ticket, as the voters had rejected the BJP. But these ten MLAs ditched the voters and join the BJP,' he alleged.
