Summary:
Kolkata, Oct 22 (PTI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will be in Goa next week on a two-day visit, as she seeks to branch out into new states, after having fortified the TMC"s position on her home turf in the assembly polls, a TMC leader said on Friday.
The move evoked derision from the BJP, which called it sheer "political tourism".
Elections to the 40-member Goa assembly will be held early next year.
"After returning from her north Bengal visit, the TMC chief will leave for Goa on October 28 on a two-day visit.
