MLA Yuri Alemao recently commented on the induction of former Margao Municipal Council (MMC) chairman and his supporters into the Congress Party. This event marks a strategic effort to strengthen the party’s base in Goa, especially amidst recent defections of Congress members to the BJP, a topic Alemao has consistently addressed. He voiced optimism that this addition would reinvigorate the Congress party, reaffirming a commitment to unified, proactive governance, and emphasizing the Congress’s intent to counter what he described as a “crisis of development” under BJP rule in Goa.
