In Goa, former BJP minister Michael Lobo gets Congress ticket
Panaji/New Delhi, January 18
The Congress on Tuesday released its third list of nine more party candidates for the February 14 Goa Assembly elections and fielded leaders who were earlier in the BJP and the Trinamool Congress.
Former BJP minister Michael Lobo, who recently quit the saffron party to join the Congress, figures on the list along with Lavu Mamlekar, who was earlier with the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC.
While Lobo will contest from Calangute, Mamlekar is the Congress candidate from Marcaim. The list also includes former Independent MLA Prasad Gaonkar, who had resigned from the House recently to join the Congress. —
