A month after quitting the Congress and joining the Trinamool Congress (TMC), former Goa MLA Alexo Reginaldo Lourenco on Sunday quit the Mamata Banerjee-led party. Assembly elections are going to be held in Goa on February 14. Lourenco was an MLA from Curtorim and working president of the Goa unit of the Congress when he resigned from the party and membership of the state assembly in December.
Lourenço has sent a letter to Banerjee informing her of his decision to leave the TMC, but he has not given any reason for leaving the party. Meanwhile, Michael Lobo, who joined the Congress from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), invited Lourenco to return to the Congress. Lourenço could not be reached for comment at this time.
