Just a few weeks ahead of the February 14 assembly elections in Goa, Congress candidates visited different religious places and took a pledge of "loyalty" towards the people and the party.
The moves comes as the Congress has seen 15 out of 17 MLAs defecting to other parties since the last election during the BJP government's tenure -- the current strength of the Congress in the House is two, while that of the BJP is 27.
In photos and videos shared on Twitter by the party on Saturday, Congress candidates from across Goa were seen visiting the Mahalaxmi Temple, Bambolim Cross and Hamza Shah Dargah.
