Panaji: Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh has said they gave a free hand to leaders in Goa to select candidates for the upcoming state polls, and exuded confidence that the party will emerge victorious.

"If you see this time, Delhi has hardly interfered in the selection of candidates. We have given full mandate to our leaders here. The screening committee members came here in the Pradesh election office, we had wide discussions, that is why we could get the best possible candidates," Singh told PTI in an interview here.
