Former Goa CM and Congress veteran Luizinho Faleiro likely to join TMC: Reports

Panaji/IBNS: Former Goa Chief Minister Luizinho Faleiro is likely to join the Trinamool Congress (TMC), which is in an expansion mode after retaining power in West Bengal earlier this year, media reports said.

Faleiro, a Congress veteran, is expected to address the media Monday.

TMC leaders Derek O'Brien and Prasun Banerjee have already reached the coastal state, which will head to polls early next year.

"I am in deep meditation. I am reading everything. One thing I will tell you (that) people of Goa are suffering, somebody has to stand up," Faleiro said Sunday as quoted by NDTV.

"I will offer comments at an appropriate time," the former Congress Chief Minister added.

The development comes days after TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee said his party will plunge into Goa politics, throwing a challenge to his arch-rival Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which rules the state.

The TMC has already activated its organisation in Tripura and Assam, which are also governed by the BJP.

Banerjee announced his plans to expand his party after the TMC decimated the BJP in bitterly-fought 2021 West Bengal Assembly Elections, where the saffron party threw everything to assume power for the first time.
