PANAJI: Ahead of the presidential election on Monday, five Congress legislators - Sankalp Amonkar (Mormugao), Carlos Alvares Ferreira (Aldona), Altone D'Costa (Quepem), Yuri Alemao (Cuncolim), and Rudolf Fernandes (Santa Cruz) - were shifted to Chennai on Friday night by the party.
"To avoid cross-voting, the party has asked us to stay together," one of the MLAs said. "We have gone to Chennai, and will be back in Goa on Monday morning. We are a total of five MLAs."
