Goa Polls: With Congress in Decline, Radical RG Can Dominate Opposition Space, Not AAP

News 18  

Having completely demolished the Congress in Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party is now harbouring ambition to replace the grand old party in Goa in the near future as the main opponent to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. Its chief ministerial candidate Amit Palekar finished third in St. Cruz constituency in North Goa while party’s convener Rahul Mhambre lost his deposit in Mapusa constituency in North Goa. TMC’s Lacklustre Performance Along with the AAP, two other political parties divided the anti-BJP vote in the state, namely the All India Trinamool Congress and the Revolutionary Goans party. This party was formed around five years ago by a local youth Manoj Parab, on the lines of Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, and is riding high on its aggressive ‘Goa for Goans’ stand. Dr Nandkumar Kamat, former Goa University researcher and political analyst, says: “The votes for RG party clearly indicate rise of militant Goanism and Goan self-identity politics, and they could perform well in the forthcoming village panchayat elections if they maintain this momentum.” The AAP, the TMC or even the MGP, he feels, will not be able to match the militant and radical identity of RG Party.
