Panaji: The Congress on Saturday announced a pre-poll alliance with Goa Forward Party (GFP) in Goa for the upcoming assembly elections to be held early next year.
Addressing a press conference, All India Congress Committee Goa Desk In-charge Dinesh Gundu Rao said, “We are happy to announce an alliance with Goa Forward Party.”
“We have sorted out issues which happened in the past. We will contest the election together,” he said.
Dinesh Gundu Rao claimed that people would reject the Bharatiya Janata Party and vote for the party and alliance which would bring development in the state.
Gao Forward Party President Vijay Sardesai said,” What happened in the past is past. We want to look at the bright future. Today is an auspicious day and we want to liberate Goa.”
Last month, Sardesai had met Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Delhi and extended his support to the Congress Party for the assembly elections.
