Goa BJP MLA Carlos Almeida quits, in talks with Trinamool
The Hindu
Several leaders from the Congress, the NCP, and the BJP have joined the Trinamool Congress
The tradition of political resignations and defections in Goa continued unabated ahead of the 2022 Assembly polls after Carlos Almeida, BJP MLA from the Vasco da Gama Assembly constituency in South Goa, quit the party and the State Assembly on Tuesday.
Mr. Almeida, a two-term MLA who has held the Vasco seat since 2012, claimed he was being “sidelined” by the BJP, while alleging that the saffron party had lost its direction in Goa after (former BJP Chief Minister) Manohar Parrikar’s demise.
He is believed to be in talks with the Trinamool Congress, which has had a fair measure of success in recruiting a number of Catholic MLAs in recent months including former Chief Ministers Luizinho Faleiro (Congress) and Churchill Alemao (NCP) and most recently , who quit the Congress on Monday.
