Congress candidates in Goa take anti-defection 'pledge'

Worried by the possibility of defections after the Goa polls, all Congress candidates took a 'pledge' of loyalty towards the people of the state and the party. They visited prominent places of religious importance- the Mahalaxmi Temple, the Bambolim Cross and the Hamza Shah Darga to pledge that they will not defect to any other party post the election results.
