Panaji: Goa Chief Minister Digamber Kamat is heading for a crisis with a group of ministers and legislators seeking change in leadership in wake of the recent charges against Goa Education Minister Atanasio Monserratte's elder son Rohit, who allegedly raped a minor German girl here.
A group of ministers from Congress and NCP met at Monseratte's residence last night and drafted a memorandum to be submitted to Congress high command seeking a leadership change in the coastal state, sources said.
"There are more than ten signatories on the memorandum and the number is increasing," a Congress minister told PTI.
Also, All-India Congress Comittee General Secretary P Hariprasad confirmed that senior Congress leader Rajiv Shukla would be heading for Goa this afternoon.
"There has been a trouble between one of our coalition member and police, hence Shukla is being sent to Goa," Hariprasad said.

Meanwhile, when contacted Kamat said that he had no idea of any such revolt, adding that he would be not be disturbed if he has to leave the chair following the resent.
