RGP Expels 10 Members Over Alleged Anti-Party Activities

Goa Khabar: The Revolutionary Goans Party (RGP) has expelled ten members from the party’s primary membership with immediate effect, citing alleged anti-party activities and attempts to undermine the organisation.

In an official statement issued by RGP General Secretary Vishvesh Naik, the party said it had taken serious note of an alleged conspiracy by certain members to split the party and take control of its football election symbol. The statement also referred to an unauthorised meeting reportedly held in Margao without the approval of any authorised office-bearer.

According to the party, discussions at the alleged meeting included plans to split the party, take over its leadership, change the party president and core executive committee, initiate legal proceedings against the party, force the convening of a general body meeting, and facilitate the re-entry of expelled members.

The RGP further alleged that the concerned members had engaged in anti-party activities through social media posts, public comments, press conferences, and other actions that had harmed the party’s image, unity, and discipline.

Following deliberations by the party’s Disciplinary Committee and Core Executive Committee, the following members have been expelled with immediate effect:

• Prashant Pagi (Canacona)
• Licio Roncon (St. Cruz)
• Manila Shirodkar (Siroda)
• Rahul Naik (Siroda)
• Premanand Gaude (Marcaim)
• Dagley Fernandes (Velim)
• Melvin Da Silva (Benaulim)
• Vishal Dessai (Quepem)
• Aditya Dessai (Curchorem)
• Sanjan (Sam) Naik (Canacona)

The party stated that disciplinary action was initiated in accordance with the party constitution and that the expelled members would cease to have any association with the Revolutionary Goans Party in any capacity with immediate effect.
