2022 poll: Govt formation will be a tricky affair

The political scenario for the 2022 assembly polls is getting crowded, especially with parties having ideological differences. There is a risk of a split in votes making government formation a tricky affair. All right, there are no alliances, no seat sharing

understanding with one another. At least let there be a common resolve not to contest in constituencies where a like-minded party stands a chance to win the elections. This will mean some sort of reinforcement of strategies for the sake of ensuring victory that otherwise might have been lost by a division of votes. If the common motive of like-minded parties is to vote out the present dispensation, this strategy would seem to boost the final tally of like-minded opposition parties. Desisting from contesting against one another will definitely brighten the chances of being able to form a coalition government in which the main motive is to vote out the present dispensation. This strategy in Goa could later be adopted in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections thus making Goa a prelude

of opposition unity.
