PANJIM: Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) spokesman Ramakant Khalap on Tuesday (March 31) described K Sharma, who claimed to be a political advisor to AICC president Sonia Gandhi, as an imposter.
“The party has not deputed anyone to Goa. Sharma is best described as an imposter,” Khalap told media persons at Congress House.
According to Khalap, the said Sharma spoke to the media relating to South Goa Congress candidate for the Lok Sabha polls.
He said GPCC president Subhash Shirodkar telephoned AICC in-charge of Goa desk, B K Hariprasad, who denied deputing any such person to Goa.
“Sharma is not a representative of the AICC. In case of a visit by any Congress functionary, the GPCC is pre-informed about his identity, designation, itinerary, purpose of visit, etc,” he said.
He said the seriousness of the issue will be probed and steps over lodging a police complaint will be considered.
