With the Grand Old Party finally settling its leadership issue in Goa, by retaining Girish Chodankar as GPCC Chief and Digambar Kamat as Legislature Wing leader, the party's focus should now be on the big battle of 2022. Both the so called 'Old Guard' and 'Young Turks' are now duty bound to work in cohesion.
With Congress having suffered a lot due to defection of elected representatives from panchayat to the assembly level, the party has a tough task on its hands and should work out a rainbow coalition of multiple parties and outfits to emerge as a truly representative alternative. The Congress also needs to come out with a manifesto that emphasises solving the various problems like unemployment, mining issues, maintenance of heritage structures among other problems. Only then will the people of Goa get attracted to the Grand Old Party once again.
