After going into a huddle with GPCC Chief Girish Chodankar on Monday night, Congress leaders, including Goa desk in-charge, Dinesh Gundu Rao and Opposition leader Digambar Kamat, are believed to have called on Goa Forward Chief Vijai Sardesai to discuss issues relating to the alliance.
With the Trinamool Congress managing an alliance with the MGP, sources said the Congress leaders are believed to have discussed with Sardesai the emerging political situation in the state.
The two sides are believed to have discussed whether the stakes of the Congress would go up if the party ropes in leaders of the ruling party ahead of the polls to keep the party in good stead in North Goa, especially in Bardez.
Sources in the know informed that the two sides discussed the poll strategy and how to go about putting up a united face not only to take on the BJP, but to convince its traditional voter base that the Congress is the only alternative to dislodge the BJP from power.
It’s still unclear whether the Congress and Goa Forward leaders discussed the issue of seat-sharing, with party leaders saying all these issues will come up for discussions in the coming days.
