Congress involved in ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ is going to receive a severe setback in Goa.

Actually, there are 40 members of the Goa Legislative Assembly; of those, the BJP now holds 20 MLAs and Congress has 11. Let us inform you that ten Congress MLAs joined the BJP at the same time in July 2019. Although there were reports of a rupture in the Goa Congress a few months ago, the Congress leadership had put an end to this political frenzy.

Let us inform you that Rahul Gandhi‘s 150-day “Bharat Jodo Yatra” will coincide with a defeat for the Congress in Goa. The “Bharat Jodo Yatra”, which is being planned as a journey from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, is currently on its eighth day.

It is noteworthy that the JDU recently suffered a blow from the BJP, and many JDU MLAs in Goa switched allegiances. At the same time, Nitish’s JDU’s state affiliate in Daman-Diu had fully merged with the BJP.

Goa Political Crisis: Congress in action amid a political crisis in Goa, 5 MLAs sent to an unknown place

Congress MLAs have already dispatched five members to an unverified location ahead of Goa’s legislative session on Monday. The party’s five additional MLAs are already unreachable. One of Congress’s senior members provided this information. The unique aspect is that Congress President Sonia Gandhi despatched Mukul Wasnik to Goa despite the deteriorating political climate.

Amit Patkar, president of the party’s Goa unit, stated that the party would declare the new leader of the opposition before the session started. Five of the 11 Congress MLAs were still with the party as of Monday morning, while the other five could not be reached. MLA Alexo Sequeira has endorsed the party while he is at home.

A top party official acknowledged that the five MLAs had been relocated. He claimed that these MLAs were members of the party and that they had been sent to an unidentified location to prevent the party from further fracturing. In response to that, he stated, “Those MLAs will attend the assembly.”

It’s interesting to note that the opposition Congress in Goa announced on Sunday that five of its 11 MLAs in the state were unreachable and that the party had sided with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the controversy surrounding two of its MLAs, Michael Lobo and former Chief Minister Digambar Kamat. Together, they charged the group with planning a “conspiracy.” The news comes amid rumors that a few Congress legislators in the 40-member House may defect to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
