Former Congress and NCP leaders join Goa Trinamool Congress

Kolkata/Panaji/UNI: Former Congress leader Daniel D Souza and former National Congress Party (NCP) leader Santosh Mandrekar joined the Trinamool Congress on Monday.

They joined the party in the presence of former Goa Chief Minister Luizinho Faleiro, All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) leader Gautam Deb, former Congress leaders Yatish Naik, Mario Pinto and Vijay Pai.

Santhosh Mandrekar is a journalist who was awarded the prestigious Dr Ambedkar Samaj Ratna Award for his contribution to the society.

He had contested on an NCP ticket in the 2017 assembly elections.

Daniel D Souza is the former Sarpanch from Arambol panchayat and has also held the post of Block President for Congress from Mandrem constituency in the past.

Speaking to reporters, Daniel D Souza said, “We will try to convince the people to join TMC because we have seen the work of BJP and Congress for decades. What have they done in the Mandrem Constituency? Can they tell us how many jobs they have provided? They haven’t been able to find a solution to the basic water and road problems for the past 25 years. We have come to change this.”

Faleiro said, “We will try to find the problems of people in every village, in every constituency. We will find what the aspirations of the people of Goa are. We have a battalion of people who know politics. We are going to work out the best vision for Goa.”
