Goa Congress crisis

I don't know what crisis is going on in the Congress party... Today I saw his (Dinesh Gundu Rao) video and was shocked, surprised to see the way he was talking. If I wanted to take any action, I had a lot of opportunities in 2017 & 2022: Goa Congress leader Digambar Kamat

I stayed with the party in 2017 when we had a clear mandate, still party didn't ask me whether I can form the govt & we lost the opportunity... Now, this is the reward I get. They're filling some disqualification petition against me for anti-party activities: Kamat 

I don't understand what anti-parties activities? However, I will face it. The party should find out those who are doing this. I worked for the party with sincerity. Congress has to do a lot of introspection as we are losing so many polls and leaders are leaving us: Digambar Kamat (ANI)
