Addressing Congress workers in Goa on Saturday, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said, “Whether you call it defectors or traitors, in the heart of every Goan there is a demand to keep them away. I wish to categorically state that those who have ditched the Congress will have no place in the party in the future.”
