At the ZP elections the cash rich BJP securing about 41% of the vote share, could have easily been seriously challenged or even overpowered had the opposition parties namely Congress, Goa Forward, RGP and AAP put up a united fight; and this was clearly indicated from the results. AAP in particular was the first one to announce going solo and refused to heed calls of many Goan activists to work on a united front; what has happened in my view is that AAP top leadership arrogance, high ego and overconfidence have made their party lose the most in these ZP elections. GF so called friendly fights with Congress resulted in winnable seats being "gifted" to the BJP. RGP winning 2 seats is noteworthy but they must accept the fact that if they have the actual intent to dislodge the BJP, they must join forces with the Opposition for the sake of Goa, Bardez seats for example could have easily be wrested away from the BJP, if the RGP had aligned with the Congress. All like minded Goans must pressurise these opposition party leaders on joining hands to fight the BJP in 2027.
