"Whoever wins Goa wins Delhi. In 2007 we won Goa, in 2009 we won Delhi. In 2012, we unfortunately lost Goa, in 2014 we lost Delhi. In 2017, you (referring to party workers) won Goa, but our legislators lost Goa," he said, while noting that the Congress was defeated in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Congress leader P Chidambaram today expressed confidence that his party will win the Goa Assembly elections due next year and also the next Lok Sabha polls in 2024.
Mr Chidambaram, who is Congress's Goa election in-charge, was addressing party workers after inaugurating the state election campaign office in Panaji.
"Let me say one thing from history...whoever wins Goa wins Delhi. In 2007 we won Goa...in 2009 we won Delhi. In 2012, we unfortunately lost Goa, in 2014 we lost Delhi. In 2017, you (referring to party workers) won Goa, but our legislators lost Goa," he said, while noting that the Congress was defeated in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Mr Chidambaram said this time, his party is moving forward with courage and confidence and "will win Goa in 2022 and Delhi in 2024".
