Trinamool Wants Priyanka Gandhi To Be Barred From Campaigning In Goa

Trinamool alleged Priyanka Gandhi violated COVID-19 norms during the Goa election campaign, and that her supporters were not wearing masks and observing the social distancing norms.

Trinamool Congress' Goa unit has written a letter to the Chief Electoral Officer demanding to prohibit Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra from campaigning in the state, alleging that she violated COVID-19 norms during the election campaign in Navelim Assembly constituency on February 7.

The party has claimed that supporters and leaders of Congress were not wearing face masks, not observing social distancing norms and had gathered in large numbers.

Citing the election commission's guidelines of 50 per cent capacity in indoor or outdoor rallies, the party said, "Such reckless and callous behaviour by the INC is condemnable."

"Conducting such door-to-door campaigns and flouting the Covid norms shall drastically endanger the health and safety of the people of Goa," said Trinamool.
