Goans need united oppn fight versus BJP

I am aghast at the perceived arrogance of AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal's tone about AAP going solo versus the BJP, at future elections in Goa. Has Kejriwal not learnt any lessons learnt from his Delhi election fiasco where the pre-election tone was similar and, in the end, actually benefited the BJP? Many Goans see the priority today as challenging the BJP from pursuing the destruction of Goa, its environment and identity. Should BJP seats be reduced to a minority this will itself be a big blow to the party and at least give Goans a chance of fighting this anti-Goan party. If AAP needs to support Goans they need to prioritize Goan interests as comparted to AAP Party/central leader's interest. Hope AAP leaders/MLAs including Amit Palekar, Valmiki Naik, Venzy Viegas (Benaulim MLA) and Cruz Silva (Velim MLA) stand up for Goa and force these Delhi leaders to change course. We need a united opposition fight versus the BJP and no splitting precious votes please. Any opposition party not agreeing to the latter should be boycotted by Goans at the elections.
