I am sure the Congress High Command emissary Digvijaysingh while in Goa now will assess the whole political scenario and especially of his Congress Party in Goa.
According to me, Congress Party is going to dig its own grave in Goa if, as given to understand, it gives party tickets to contest the coming election to all those oldies who betrayed the Party in the past, so also to those who were involved in scandals, either moral or financial. Besides, none of the defeated candidates should be given the party tickets to contest the next election. Because they are corrupt they were rejected by the voters in the last election. However, inspite of this, if they are given the party tickets to contest the next election then it would be construed as they have purchased the party tickets by paying crores of rupees to both the Low and High Commands of Congress Party. In this case, we the voters, reserve the right to vote them all out.
The only solution for Congress Party now to save its face is to align itself with the like minded local parties in seat sharing adjustment. I don’t want Congress to run this contest parallel to other like minded parties because in this case Congress will not only not get anything but on the contrary it will split the anti-BJP votes thereby giving an edge to BJP to grab power easily.
The moot point now is to defeat BJP and if Congress is really interested in this goal then it must have an alliance with other like minded parties. Otherwise, Congress under Luizin Fleiro will be held responsible for bringing BJP back to power in which case BJP will finish Goa of all its Goan characteristics. That will be the end of Goa and Goans.
Congress Party contesting the coming election independently without aligning with the other like minded parties, will create a nuisance value of itself.
