The Congress had accused Lobo and former Chief Minister Digambar Kamat of conspiring with the BJP against the party. Making this announcement an evening before the state assembly session, Congress&#8217; Goa desk in-charge Dinesh Gundu Rao said that apart from Lobo and Kamat, three other party MLAs were &#8220;unreachable&#8221;.<br \/>\nThe development comes amid speculation that some Congress MLAs in the 40-member House may join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Rao said, &#8220;LoP Michael Lobo and former Chief Minister Digambar Kamat were conspiring with the BJP to ensure defection in the Congress in Goa. The party has decided to discard Lobo from the post of Leader of Opposition,&#8221; he said, adding that the party would take action against both Lobo and Kamat. The Congress currently has 11 MLAs in Goa.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, Congress President Sonia Gandhi immediately removed former Goa Chief Minister Digambar Kamat as a permanent invitee to the Congress Working Committee (CWC).
