Asserting that the Congress does not underestimate the potential and strength of any political party, Goa Pradesh Congress Committee chief Girish Chodankar has said that the Congress would officially reach out to all forces and groups, including the Aam Aadmi Party, which believes in the defeat of the BJP in the ensuing elections.
The GPCC chief further said that though he and AAP Goa State convenor Elvis Gomes had a couple of informal meetings with discussions centered on politics and the ensuing Lok Sabha elections, no formal talks have taken place till date.
When asked how the Congress would see the presence of the Aam Aadmi Party in the fray in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections, Chodankar said the Congress does not want to underestimate the strength and potential of any political party. “I had a couple of informal meetings with AAP State convenor Elvis Gomes in recent times. And, the Congress party want to take this process forward by having formal meetings,” he said.
The GPCC chief said he would reach out to various parties and groups, including AAP with a plea to see reason and come under one platform with the sole agenda to defeat the BJP in the husting.
“People of Goa are waiting to teach the BJP a lesson. To achieve this objective, the Congress will reach out to all parties and individuals to join hands to defeat the BJP,” Chodankar said, and warned that the people will not forgive the leaders and parties if they do not unite to defeat the BJP.
