MARGAO: The representatives of Dakshinayan from Goa meeting Congress President Rahul Gandhi in Hubli has made news on Saturday night.
Though the Dakshinayan member Cleofato Coutinho claims that he along with Datta Naik met Rahul informally, discussions are making rounds that it was to lobby the Congress president Cleofato for South Goa Lok Sabha seat.
The Dakshinayan members skipped meeting of Rahul Gandhi at Cidade de Goa and chose to meet him in Hubli. When contacted, Cleofato said the meeting with Gandhi was to discuss overall political scenario in India and nothing specific to Goa was discussed.
There has been discussion going on in political circles of Cleofato Coutinho bing one of the probable claimants for Congress South Goa ticket. This meeting with the AICC President gains importance on this backdrop.
