AAP’s CM Face In Goa “Rebello”Rules out Contesting Polls

[Panaji,Goa] AAP’s Goa Leader Rebello Rules out Contesting Goa Polls
AAP’s prominent Goa leader Dr Oscar Rebello, who was speculated to be the party’s chief ministerial face, has ruled out contesting the state Assembly elections due next year.
Rebello, a practising physician, came into limelight in 2006-07 when he, as convener of Goa Bachao Abhiyaan, had opposed the Regional plan (land use plan) through a mass agitation, following which the then Town and Country Planning Minister Atanasio Monserratte had resigned from his post.
“I would like to put the record straight that due to my profession and family commitments, I will definitely not contest the election,” Rebello told reporters yesterday, laying to rest speculation about him being the AAP’s chief ministerial candidate.
The Goa Assembly polls are due before March 2017.
