News Analysis | Goa Assembly election: Has Trinamool Congress lost the plot in State?
The Hindu
It is felt that the TMC has struggled most to rid itself of the stamp of being an ‘outside party’ and has not been able to build a perception of ‘Goan-ness’
Far from heralding a ‘new dawn’ for Goans, the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) appears to be foundering ahead of the 40-seat Goa Assembly election slated to be held next month.
The party signalled its intent to expand its footprint in the coastal State when former Congressman and stalwart Goan leader Luizinho Faleiro — a former Chief Minister and seven-time MLA — joined the TMC. The adhesion of tennis star Leander Paes to the party added a dash of glamour to the TMC’s onward march to win Goa.
