'After joining, I realised the TMC in no way could bring a 'new dawn' in Goa.'
In yet another jolt the Congress ahead of the Goa Assembly polls, the party's state working president, Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco, resigned as member of the legislative assembly on Monday, reducing the party's strength to two in the 40-member House.
The Goa Congress faced a spate of resignations and confusion prevailed over its alliance with like-minded parties for the upcoming polls in the coastal state as the opposition party was getting ready for a series of meetings by general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday.
In the 2017 state assembly polls, the Congress had emerged as the single largest party by winning 17 seats.
He said his supporters were apprehensive that joining TMC would invite the "outside party" to Goa which will split votes.
The Association of Democratic Reforms said Goa has set a unique record, which is "unparalleled" in the history of Indian democracy.
