Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Admi Party's National Convener Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said that the Trinamool Congress doesn't command even 1% of the voter base in Goa.

Pointing out that TMC had arrived in Goa only a few months ago, Kejriwal said that a party needs to work hard among the people (to win elections).

Kejriwal is on a two-day visit to poll-bound Goa and is slated to return to Delhi on Wednesday.

"I think you people [media] give a lot of importance to TMC. I think TMC doesn't have even a 1% vote share as of now. It came to Goa only 3 months back, democracy doesn't work like this. You need to work hard, you need to work among people," Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said in Panaji, Goa.

Last week, MLA Alina Saldanha resigned from the Assembly and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party to join the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in New Delhi.

Meanwhile, in a major blow to the Congress, MLA from Curtorim Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco resigned from the party as well as the state Assembly to join the TMC on Tuesday.

The Congress now has only two MLAs in the 40-seat Goa Assembly, down from the 17 MLAs that it had after the 2017 Assembly elections.
