According to the available information, very shortly, possibly on 18th of this month, Congress Party in Goa is going to have its Conclave to decide what steps to take to win the next election.
As a Congressman from my School days, I feel I have an obligation to air my views and thereby expecting others too who are attending the Conclave to do the same so that the Congress Party in Goa is saved from extinction. As on now, the chances of Congress of winning the next election is very bad if it goes alone without aligning with other like minded parties.
It is imperative now and NOW ONLY for the Congress Party in Goa to seek an alliance with the like minded parties to avoid the splitting of votes of anti-BJP outfits in the coming election. As per my source, all the anti-BJP parties are ready for this alliance except Congress and AAP that is come to Goa at the last minute as visitors to spoil the chances of other parties. That it cannot win a single Seat is a sure fact because it would be controlled from Delhi. Both these parties Congress and AAP are still not realizing that they cannot create any impact in the next election if they go alone individually. Their High Commands in Delhi will be like the High Command in Lisboa during Salazar's time in Goa. Because we wanted our High Command in Goa we fought for freedom and inspite of this we are surrendering our rights to High Command in Delhi? Something is wrong with us.
In view of this, the Congress members attending this Conclave must make their stand very firm and clear in favour of formation of alliance of like minded parties and not the grand alliance of all the old men of Congress. I was given to understand that this grand alliance of old men is like a stumbling block for the formation of alliance of like minded parties for their fear of losing the power from their hands.
In case this proposal is rejected then we the supporters of Congress Party will hold the present leadership of Congress Party responsible not only for the loss but also for the demise of Congress Party in Goa.
