VASCO: After virtually being declared persona non-grata by the Congress, Dabolim MLA Mauvin Godinho has hit back and threatened to file a defamation case against Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) for maligning his name.
Addressing a news conference at his office at Upasnagar-Sancoale on Monday, Godinho said he would file a defamation case against the GPCC for maligning his name and falsely implicating him in purchase of properties under fictitious names, as alleged by the GPCC.
Focusing his criticism on GPCC President John Fernandes, Godinho said: “Fernandes is the best person who will write the best obituary for the Congress and will be responsible for losing both the Congress Lok Sabha seats.”
“I have been tirelessly working to strengthen and build the party since I was a youth Congress president without any expectations from the party for higher positions,” said Godinho.
