All this is good for Congress.” Panaji: Sitting Lok Sabha MP and Ayush minister Shripad Naik is like a comet which appears once in five years and disappears in the darkness, said state Congress president Girish Chodankar here on Thursday as he expressed confidence that he could wrest the North Goa Lok Sabha constituency from Naik.On whether Chodankar has a strategy in place to defeat Naik, the Congress president said, “I don’t have a plan to defeat Shripad Naik but the people I meet have a plan.”Chodankar said that Naik had failed to address the needs of many Goans, especially mining-dependant families. He pointed out that Naik had failed to fix an appointment for a delegation of mining-dependant individuals with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.“If people don’t listen to him in Delhi, then why do you want to send him back to Delhi?” Chodankar said.Asked if Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party;s (MGP) decision to contest the Lok Sabha elections would help Congress, Chodankar said, “Let MGP fight with BJP, we will focus on our work.
