Days after eight of its MLAs joined the BJP, the Congress on Tuesday appointed Yuri Alemao as its new legislature party leader in Goa. Alemao (37) is the MLA from Cuncolim.
“The Congress President has appointed Mr. Yuri Alemao as the Leader of Congress Legislature Party (CLP), Goa with immediate effect,” an official communication from the party said. The Congress had earlier removed its former CLP leader Michael Lobo for alleged anti-party activities.
On September 14, MLAs Digambar Kamat, Michael Lobo, Delilah Lobo, Kedar Naik, Rajesh Faldesai, Sankalp Amonkar, Rudolph Fernandes and Alexo Sequeira joined the BJP by passing a resolution in the legislature party meeting. The opposition party is now left with only three MLAs in the 40-member assembly.
After the assembly elections held in March this year, the BJP retained power in the coastal state. It has 20 MLAs in the assembly.
