The Hindu
‘Will play a substantial role in forming a govt.’
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Shiv Sena on Wednesday officially announced their alliance ahead of the upcoming Goa Assembly election, with leaders of both parties underscoring that the NCP and the Sena would have a substantial role in forming a government after the polls.
Expressing regret that a Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA)-like alliance with the Congress could not be formed in Goa (as in Maharashtra), NCP leader Praful Patel - the party’s Goa desk in-charge - rebuked the Congress for not taking “a constructive role” in seeking a pre-poll alliance that could have taken on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Both parties are likely to contest on 10-12 seats each in the 40-seat Goa Assembly. Mr. Patel said the NCP-Sena alliance would announce their candidates on Thursday.
