PANJIM: The Manohar Parrikar-led government will die a natural death, a Congress national leader said on Friday.
“The Manohar Parrikar-led government is on course to die a natural death,” AICC secretary A Chellakumar told reporters adding, “The government was formed by those who sold the ideology and sentiments of the voters for their greed for power and money.”
Chellakumar refused to speak about the party’s strategy to garner support of other MLAs, only saying that it would form the next government “by taking into consideration the ideology of the party and also the interests of Goans”.
Chellakumar dismissed reports that said the party was not united, pointing out that two of its MLAs – Jennifer Monserrate and Felipe Neri Rodrigues – are at present travelling abroad. “The two are out of station but they have gone with the knowledge of the party,” Chellakumar added. “When there will be need, when we will form the government in the interest of Goans, I do not think any Congress MLA will abstain or leave the party.”
