MARGAO
With Congress Goa desk in-charge Manikrao Thakare scheduled to arrive in the state on Thursday, discussions on the proposed alliance between the Congress and the Goa Forward Party are expected to resume once again.
Thakare, who is the chairman of the Congress panel tasked with taking decisions on alliances, is expected to take stock of the situation during his visit. He is also expected to set in motion the process of discussions between the Congress and the Goa Forward Party.
The Goa Forward Party has already pushed the ball into the Congress court on the alliance talks by seeking to know from the principal Opposition party the role the regional party would play in the proposed alliance. It has also asked the Congress leadership to specify the number of seats the party intends to concede to the regional party.
