Panaji, Oct 29: Criticising the lack of leadership in Congress, Goa Forward Party (GFP) chief, Vijai Sardesai on Monday said Congress leadership in Goa is lacking a tall leader like Sharad Pawar to defeat defectors. Sardesai also pointed out that Congress leadership in Goa was not serious about proceeding with disqualification against rebel Congress MLAs.
Praising NCP leader, Sharad Pawar, Sardesai said, “16 NCP leaders quit the party and joined BJP. From these only six won and eight lost. NCP leader, Sharad Pawar stood in the rain and campaigned for the Satara seat. We need leaders like Sharad Pawar who can go to the people and arouse their emotions to defeat the defectors.”
Sardesai also said that people in Goa would definitely teach a lesson to the 13 Congress MLAs who quit and joined BJP.
