Former Mormugao Municipal Council (MMC) chairman Nandadeep Raut recently joined the Congress party, bringing hundreds of supporters along. The induction took place at an event in Vasco, where Raut highlighted his reasons for joining Congress. He expressed frustration with the BJP’s performance in the area, citing limited development over the past decade and pointing to unfulfilled projects and minimal improvements. Raut, with around 1,500 supporters, voiced that only Congress could achieve the level of development Vasco needs, including potential tourism benefits from local beaches.
