As per news report of NDTV The mass defection — a 2019 redux for Goa Congress — is hugely embarrassing for the party in the middle of Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' (Unite India March), at which the BJP has been taking jibes: "Jodo (Unite) your party first." With eight MLAs breaking away as a group — that is two thirds of the party strength — they can't be disqualified under the anti-defection law. These include Michael Lobo's wife Delilah Lobo, Rajesh Phaldesai, Kedar Naik, Sankalp Amonkar, Aleixo Sequeira and Rudolf Fernandes. Atp Grupė Negabaritinių krovinių prevežimas
