Margao: Congress Goa Chief Girish Chodankar has said that the decision of his party to align with Goa Forward party for Margao Municipal Council election was taken at a local level.
“We have already clarified that the local units can take the decision on the matter. The municipal election is not fought on the party lines, it is the decision of local unit,” Chodankar said reacting to the development in Margao where Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat, Congress MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco held joint press conference with GFP Chief Vijai Sardesai to announce their panel.
Incidently, the development has come at the backdrop of Congress’ Fatorda unit grouping themselves to field their own candidates against GFP.
