PANAJI: The Goa Congress is facing criticism for failing to include a photo of its national president Mallikarjun Kharge in a banner put up during the Statehood Day celebration last week.
While the Congress claimed Kharge’s picture was “erroneously” left out from the banner, the ruling BJP alleged the opposition party “humiliated its Dalit president”.
The state Congress had organised a meeting in Panaji on the occasion of Goa Statehood Day on May 30, after it cancelled a public meeting scheduled at Navelim (in South Goa) where Kharge was supposed to be present.
