Congress accuses Michael Lobo and Digambar Kamat of a conspiracy in "total coordination" with the BJP
The Congress in Goa wants two of its 11 MLAs - Digambar Kamat and Michael Lobo - disqualified under the anti-defection law, and has petitioned the Speaker of the assembly for it.
This came hours after Mr Kamat, a former chief minister, said he was "shocked and stunned" as the Congress's state in-charge Dinesh Gundu Rao accused him and Mr Lobo of trying to divide the party.
The Congress earlier removed Michael Lobo as the Leader of Opposition, and said the ruling BJP is trying for a two-third split - which would help skirt the anti-defection law - "by offering huge amounts of money".
