Addressing the media, Congress’ minority Mapusa block convener Firoz Khan and Madkaim block vice president Sandeep Naik, said the senior faces, especially those rejected by people in the 2012 polls, need to rethink about contesting the election.
“These senior leaders have become grandfathers now and it’s time for them to play with their grandchildren and not in politics,” Naik said adding Congress cannot use youth as just a vote bank during election.
The statement comes a day after senior leader Minister Ravi Naik batted for the ‘grandfathers’.
