MARGAO: In the ongoing process of finalising the candidates for the upcoming elections Margao Congress Block Committee has shortlisted only one name and that is former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat.
As informed by the South District Congress office, several other block committees have also shortlisted the list of aspirants from the constituencies of Salcete taluka.
In Nuvem constituency total of six names have been shortlisted and amongst them are party's working president Aleixo Sequeira, Everson Vales, Jose Raju Cabral, Zarina D Cunha, Francisco Da Costa and Dolvin Braganza. There are rumours that Aleixo or Jose Cabral are the strong contenders for Nuvem.
While in Curtorim constituency another working President of the party and MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco, former ZP member Moreno Rebello, and Basilio Fernandes have been shortlisted for the ticket by the Curtorim block Congress committee. However, Moreno Rebello was witnessed criticising his MLA on several occasions and is also known that he is in good contacts with BJP leaders. He is most likely to contest as an Independent candidate if the party denies him ticket.
