Oppn parties must learn from past mistakes

It is surprising to see so many parties like Goa Forward Party, RGP AAP, including Congress, vying to defeat the BJP in Goa, yet none trust each other. The opposition needs to unite as one team, one family, to truly represent the people’s interest. Internal egos and conflicts continue to sabotage alliance talks, giving BJP the upper hand. Meanwhile, BJP itself refuses support from the MGP party, deepening political confusion. The people of Goa are left bewildered as no party appears strong or sincere enough to safeguard Goa’s future. Instead, they witness endless blame games and power struggles. If this chaos persists, BJP will exploit the situation through horse trading and political manoeuvring. Sadly, many politicians seem more interested in power and personal gain than serving the people. Opposition parties must learn from past mistakes and put Goa’s welfare above all else. Only through true unity and commitment can they hope to build a better future for Goa and its citizens.
