Mamata Banerjee's Party Communal, Dividing Goa: Ex MLA Quits In 3 Months
NDTV
"I was under the impression that TMC is a very secular party. But from whatever I have noticed in the last 15-20 days, I came to know that it is worse than the BJP," Goa's former legislator Lavoo Mamledar alleged.
Nearly three months after joining the Trinamool Congress or TMC, Goa's former legislator Lavoo Mamledar today resigned from Mamata Banerjee's party, accusing it of being communal and trying to create a divide between Hindus and Christians for votes ahead of the state Assembly polls.
The former Ponda MLA had joined the Trinamool Congress in the last week of September. He was among the first few local leaders in the state to join the TMC, which has decided to contest all 40 seats in the Goa Assembly polls, due in February 2022.
He also alleged that the Trinamool Congress was collecting the data of people in the name of rolling out a welfare scheme for women in the state if it is voted to power after the elections.
Talking to reporters after resigning from the party, Mr Mamledar said, "I had joined the TMC because I was fully impressed with Mamata Banerjee-led party's performance in West Bengal (Assembly polls held earlier this year)."
