Speaking to reporters, Nath asked, “just because someone leaves Congress, do you think the party is over?” He added, “People do what they do out of their own intent, no one does anything out of pressure.”
Last week, eight Congress MLAs in Goa joined the BJP. Over the last few months, many prominent leaders have left Congress, including veteran leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, who recently announced plans to form his own party.
