TMC's agenda is to help BJP: Dinesh Gundu Rao

All India Congress Committee state desk in-charge Dinesh Gundu Rao on Monday questioned the silence of the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC on the BJP in Goa and alleged that the latter's agenda may be to help the ruling party.

Rao questioned the funding of the TMC in Goa, which has orchestrated a high-pitch visibility election campaign in Goa.

"The agenda of the TMC is to help BJP. They want to weaken all other parties and are targeting Congress. Why can't they target the BJP? Who is giving them resources, where is the money coming from," Rao questioned while talking to reporters in Quepem in South Goa.

He also alleged that IPAC, a poll consultancy firm mentored by strategist Prashant Kishor, maybe "betraying" Banerjee in Goa.

"The people running the IPAC may have a different agenda. They may be even betraying Banerjee. I do not know whether Banerjee knows all this or not," Rao claimed

Assembly polls in Goa are likely to be held in February next year.
