With his resignation, the Congress's strength in the 40-member House has been reduced to four.
Former Goa Chief Minister and Congress leader Luizinho Faleiro resigned as member of the State Legislative Assembly on Monday and is likely to join the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC).
Minutes before resigning, Mr. Faleiro praised West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC head Mamata Banerjee and said the country needs a leader like her to take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Mr. Faleiro, who represented the Navelim Assembly seat and was recently made the Goa Congress's campaign committee chief in the wake of the state polls due next year, submitted his resignation to Assembly Speaker Rajesh Patnekar.
