Trinamool Congress vice president Luizinho Faleiro on Friday announced his withdrawal as a candidate of the party from Goa\u2019s Fatorda constituency for the upcoming Assembly polls. At a press conference, Faleiro said: \u201cI announce my withdrawal as Goa Trinamool candidate from Fatorda and hand over the baton to a young woman advocate. That has been the policy of the party \u2013 to empower the women.\u201d Trinamool\u2019s new candidate for the Fatorda constituency is Seoula Avilia Vas.<\/p>\n
Faleiro said that he took the decision as he \u201ccould not do justice\u201d in the last election. \u201cMy earlier experience says that when I fought the election last time, we could not do justice to them. To replace me, we have a very able Flora, who will represent the Fatorda constituency,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve taken the decision after consulting our party\u2019s national chairperson as I would like to campaign from all over Goa for all Trinamool candidates,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mahua Moitra, one of Trinamool leaders in charge of the party in Goa, said, \u201cWe are here in Fatorda to put up a fight and defeat the BJP.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
