No leadership change: Subhash
PTI, PANAJI | 15 January 2010 13:02 ISTGoa Congress today said the political crisis in the state has blown over and that there will be no leadership change.
Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president Subhash Shirodkar, who returned from Delhi last night, indicated that the crisis has blown over even though dissident Congress legislators maintained that they will be meeting him tomorrow to press the demand for a leadership change.
Shirodkar, who was on a troubleshooting mission, met dissident legislators Pandurang Madkaikar and Dayanand Narvekar this morning. "There will be no leadership change and the government is strong," he told reporters.
A group of five Congress legislators have rebelled against the state government demanding dethroning of Chief Minister Digamber Kamat. Pandurang Madkaikar, Churchill Alemao, Fransisco Silveira, Agnelo Fernandes and Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco accused Kamat of failing to govern the state.
