The Congress on Monday filed petitions with Goa Assembly Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar seeking disqualification of its MLAs Michael Lobo and Digambar Kamat. It has accused them of hobnobbing with the ruling BJP to bring about a split in the party.
“Disqualification petitions have been filed against both the MLAs as they have voluntarily given up membership of the party. There is a Supreme Court judgment that states that any anti-party activity amounts to giving up of the membership of the party,” Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president Amit Patkar said.
