MARGAO: Former Nuvem MLA Fransisco Pacheco, also known as Mickky, on Sunday announced his comeback into local politics.
Pacheco told reporters his intention of joining Congress “very soon” and of contesting the 2022 assembly elections.
“I will very soon join Congress along with 3,000 youth. I will help revive the Congress. I am in touch with central Congress leaders,” he said.
He, however, said that he was against the idea of Congress forming an alliance with any other party for the 2022 polls. He said that other parties should merge into Congress instead of fighting the elections in alliance.
Pacheco said he was against any change of guard within Congress at this juncture. “This is not the time for changing party leadership and levelling charges against the state Congress president. The Congress leaders in Delhi should place their trust in Girish Chodankar. Change of leadership will only lead to infighting,” he said.
He said he was undecided about the choice of constituency from where he would contest. “I can contest from anywhere, Benaulim or Nuvem.”
