Kamat’s remarks did not go down well with state party leaders who said it is for the party high command to act on the matter.

“You have to ask him (Kamat) why he said so. It is for the party high command to act and seek his clarification,” Goa Pradesh Congress Committee President Subhash Shirodkar said.

He refused to further comment on the issue.
