Goan Activist Kenneth Silveira Rips Apart TMC, Calls Them Party Of Cheaters & Liars

PANAJI: Social activist and former Dabolim independent candidate Kenneth Silveira who recently quit the Trinamool Congress (TMC) Goa unit in a huff has termed the party officials a bunch of cheaters and liars.

Silveira had joined the party last year in the month of November.

He was promised the TMC ticket for Dabolim and the IPAC (Indian Political Action Committee) officials who spoke to him at the time of his joining, also promised him Rs 10 to Rs 15 crore towards campaign and election expenses, he claimed.

Silveira who is known as a very vocal Goan businessman and hotelier and who is popular on Facebook, urged Goans not to trust the Trinamool Congress at any cost as they do not keep up their promises.

He urged Goans who joined the party to get out of the TMC because they are a bunch of crooks who make false promises to rope in leaders and members. He termed them as “Joomla TMC” in a Facebook post.

Speaking to this portal, Silveira said he requests all Goans who joined the TMC to quit the party because they want to divide Goans and their intention is not above board. “They want to fool Goans, they consider Goans to be idiots who can be manipulated and taken for a ride,” Kenneth said.

“The TMC which ditched me at the last moment, after promising me at the time of joining that they would invest Rs 10 to 15 crore in my election campaign, expected me to contest independently so that votes get split in my constituency. My papers are ready, but I do not want to split votes. I wish the best candidate win,” Silveira wrote on his Facebook.
