Several Congress leaders are

upset that the party has decided not to field candidates for the Zilla Panchayat polls scheduled in 50 places in Goa on March 22.

The state election commission has said that the polls will be fought on party lines, and Congress Legislature Party leader Digambar Kamat said on Friday that his party would not field candidates.

GPCC general secretary Sankulp Amonkar told reporters on Saturday that the CLP decision was taken without consulting the party organisation.

He said talks would held on this issue with state unit chief Girish Chodankar, adding that contesting ZP polls would have increased the Congress' voter base.
