Expressing confidence that the people of Goa would vote into office a stable, single-party government led by the Congress in the upcoming Assembly election, senior Congressman P. Chidambaram on Sunday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) ‘Operation Lotus’ to lure MLAs from the Goa Congress and elsewhere was coming back to haunt them, with many of the saffron party’s leaders deserting its ranks today.
He further said that the party had announced 36 of its 37 candidates for the upcoming 40-seat Goa Assembly election, and that the candidate for the last seat would also be announced soon.
