Eyeing South Goa Congress Ticket, Luizinho Faleiro resigns from RS, TMC

NEW DELHI: With an eye on the Lok Sabha polls in 2024 and hoping for a Congress ticket, Trinamool Congress (TMC) Rajya Sabha MP Luizinho Faleiro on Tuesday resigned from the party as well as the Rajya Sabha citing personal reasons, three years and seven months ahead of his term.

Faleiro was not available for comment and the TMC in Goa was tight-lipped on the matter. We will update this report when either the TMC or Faleiro responds to us.

However, sources claimed Faleiro has sent feelers to the Congress high command in New Delhi making his intentions clear of wanting to join back into the party. Faleiro has not publicly commented on this issue. It is obvious Faleiro is seeking a Congress ticket from South Goa for the Lok Sabha polls, with the present MP Francisco Sardinha unlikely to seek another run.
