PANJIM: All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) on Saturday appointed Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra as in-charge of the TMC Goa unit with immediate effect.
“TMC chairperson Mamata Banerjee is pleased to appoint Mahua Moitra (MP Krishnanagar Lok Sabha) as the State in-charge of AITC Goa with immediate effect. AITC Chairperson Mamta Banerjee looks forward to a brighter future for Goa, with All India Trinamool Congress paving the way with courage and wisdom,” said AITC National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee in a press release.
Moitra had visited Goa on October 25 to release the people’s charge sheet against the misrule of previous governments for the last 20 years.
