Addressing mAediapersons at Panaji today, Lourenco said his decision to join the Mamata Banerjee-led party was a “mistake”. “I have hurt many friends and also my near and dear supporters by crossing over to TMC. I also hurt my family members,” Lourenco, considered the next important acquisition by the TMC from the Congress stable in Goa after former CM Luizinho Faleiro, said.
He said he had decided to join the TMC because he was led to believe in the party’s promise of ushering in a “new dawn” for Goa. On his future course, he said his supporters would want him to rejoin the Congress.
