QUEPEM: After nearly a year and half of instability in Quepem’s Congress with its former MLA Chandrakant Kavlekar joining BJP, the Quepem Congress Block has finally appointed Manuel Colaco as its Block President. Local Congress leaders stressed that  people are not happy with Kavlekar for  joining BJP.

Colaco, the present councillor and former Chairperson of the Quepem Municipal Council, was upbeat about the task ahead and emphasised that Congress is still strong in the constituency. He added that the booth and other main committee members will be elected in the next few days and that the new office of the Quepem Congress block will be opened shortly.
