All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) National Vice-President Luizinho Faleiro announced his withdrawal as Goa TMC candidate from Fatorda.
He said, “I announce my withdrawal as Goa TMC candidate from Fatorda and hand over the baton to a young woman, a professional. That has been the policy of the party -- to empower the women.”
He further added, “I've taken this decision after consulting our party's national chairman because I would like to fight and campaign all over Goa for all the TMC candidates so that they can perform well.”
