Goa Assembly election | Ex-CM Luizinho Faleiro withdraws as TMC candidate from Fatorda
The Hindu
He says he will continue to campaign for party’s candidates in State
Former Goa Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) national vice-president Luizinho Faleiro on Friday formally announced that he would not contest the poll on February 14.
Mr. Faleiro’s eleventh-hour decision, which came on the last day of the filing of nomination, has left the TMC in a fix.
Bereft of experienced candidates, the party has fielded a relative political neophyte — advocate Seoula Vas — in lieu of Mr. Faleiro. Ms. Vas will be pitted against Goa Forward Party (GFP) chief Vijai Sardesai, who is the incumbent MLA from Fatorda.
