The Congress and the Goa Forward Party (GFP) on December 18 announced a pre-poll alliance for the upcoming State Assembly elections due in February next year.
Notably, the GFP had earlier shared power with the BJP in Goa, but withdrew its support in July 2019 after its all three MLAs, including party president Vijai Sardesai, who was then Deputy Chief Minister in the Pramod Sawant-led government, were dropped from the Cabinet.
Addressing a press conference in Panaji, All India Congress Committee (AICC) in-charge for Goa, Dinesh Gundu Rao, said the Congress and the GFP have entered into an alliance for the forthcoming elections in the coastal State.
