Panaji, Dec 18 (TIWN) The Congress and the Goa Forward Party (GFP) on Saturday announced its alliance for the 2022 Assembly polls in the coastal state.

Addressing a press conference, Congress Goa in-charge Dinesh Gundu Rao said that while the nitty gritty of the alliance, including seat sharing, would be worked out in the coming days, he said that the two parties, which have shared a turbulent history, would be looking to defeat the ruling BJP in the elections.

“Goa Forward was discussing with us for a long time and we have now come to an understanding and we have formed an alliance and it will be a good alliance to take on this communal and corrupt BJP. I think this will be a good beginning,” Rao said.
