Congress on Tuesday attacked Arvind Kejriwal over his visits to the poll-bound Goa, saying the Delhi Chief Minister is professing "an artificial love" for the coastal state for making "political gains" at the cost of "Goan identity."

"All his artificial love which he (Kejriwal) is professing for Goans, is buried in his ambitious plan of looting and eradicating the identity of Goans," said Congress unit spokesman Trojano D'Mello.

He also alleged the AAP leader was eying the land resources of Goa as an "agent of the Delhiites."

Notably, Kejriwal during his Goa visit on Sunday had predicted that Congress would not be able to win even a single seat in the 40-member House in the elections next year.
