Newly-appointed Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in Goa Assembly Digambar Kamat on Thursday said he will take along all opposition MLAs to form a united strategy while raising issues in the House.
The All India Congress Committee Wednesday appointed Kamat as leader of the opposition, after the party suffered a setback last week when its 10 MLAs, including the then LoP Chandrakant Kavlekar, joined the ruling BJP in the state.
The Congress' strength has now been reduced to just five MLAs in the 40-member House.
Talking to reporters outside the Assembly complex on Thursday, Kamat said, "The Congress, being the largest group in the opposition, would have to take along all others in the opposition to form strategies while raising various issues in the House."
