Bjp Mlas In Goa

Goa BJP MLA Premendra Shet's demand to ban alcohol consumption in the coastal state has found no takers among his colleagues in the legislative assembly.

Eight MLAs of the Congress in Goa who switched over to the BJP earlier this week will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi on Monday, Press Trust of India reported.

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Wednesday said since 2014, there is a "wholesale buyer" in the Indian market, and one day, that buyer will buy nearly all MLAs one day in apparent dig to the BJP.

The three remaining MLAs of the Congress in Goa on Wednesday said they would stay with the party in the wake of the exit of eight fellow legislators who have crossed over to the ruling BJP.

After the defection of eight Congress MLAs in Goa, the AAP on Wednesday called the BJP a "serial killer of democracy" and slammed the CBI for not taking any action against it.

Seven months after they took a "loyalty pledge" at a temple, church and a mosque, eight of 11 Congress MLAs in Goa have switched to the ruling BJP.

Quips and wordplay flew from all sides in Goa and beyond, including the defecting MLAs who said they were unhappy with the Congress leadership

"When you vote for Congress, you elect a future BJP MLA," says AAP MP Raghav Chadha in a tweet

Loyalty vow no deterrent: Mass defection is a 2019 redux for Goa Congress, and particularly embarrassing for the party in the middle of Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'

Ten of 11 Congress MLAs in Goa met late this evening to discuss what the party called a "failed" attempt by the ruling BJP to cause a split. The party has accused its two key MLAs, Digambar Kamat and Michael Lobo, of involvement in the plan.

A day after firefighting in Goa to keep its flock together, leaders of the Congress, off the record, described the "Operation Lotus" the ruling BJP allegedly attempted.

Congress accuses Michael Lobo and Digambar Kamat of a conspiracy in "total coordination" with the BJP

Congress's Goa desk in charge Dinesh Gundu Rao had alleged that "Lobo and Kamat were hatching a conspiracy by hobnobbing with the BJP to engineer a split in the Congress."

After an entire day of refuting reports of some of its MLAs crossing over to the ruling BJP in Goa, Congress has sacked Michael Lobo as the Leader of Opposition.

Goa Congress chief Amit Patkar said such rumours were being spread by the ruling BJP, news agency PTI reported.
