Congress leaders push for a common front with the Goa Forward Party (GFP) and the Revolutionary Goans Party (RGP). They argue that unity can prevent a repeat of the last election, where divided votes helped the BJP advance. With nine key Salcete seats in play, Congress wants a strong, combined strategy.

GFP seeks seats in Raia, Davorlim, and other areas. RGP also aims to contest multiple seats after its surprise performance in 2022. Congress now faces a crucial question: should it adjust its expectations to protect the wider non-BJP vote base?

AAP’s decision to go solo complicates the landscape further. Congress knows even a small vote split can flip critical seats in Salcete. Party insiders say seat-sharing talks this week will decide whether unity succeeds or the vote fractures again.

As election day approaches, all eyes remain on whether opposition parties will strike a workable pact to counter the BJP’s aggressive campaign.

A long meeting at Tejashwi’s residence settled the seat-sharing plan. Congress and RJD agreed to give up a few seats to keep the alliance strong. The Left parties may get a slightly higher number this time.

Earlier, Congress avoided naming anyone for the CM post. But now, every party supports Tejashwi Yadav as their leader. The Grand Alliance will fight the election together under his leadership. The official announcement is expected within a few days.

The introduction ceremony of Justice Sudarshan Reddy took place in Hyderabad on Monday under the leadership of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. Minister Surekha attended the program, personally met the candidate, expressed solidarity, and later joined him for lunch. She said his presence in the Vice Presidential race was a proud moment at a time when the influence of Telugu leaders in Delhi politics has been declining.

Surekha recalled the legacy of Telugu leaders such as Bhogaraju Pattabhi Sitaramayya, Tanguturi Prakasam Pantulu, Puchalapalli Sundaraiah, Neelam Sanjiva Reddy, V.V. Giri, P.V. Narasimha Rao, Jaipal Reddy, Venkaiah Naidu, and N.T. Rama Rao. She emphasized that it is the responsibility of Telugu people to stand behind Sudarshan Reddy and continue this legacy.

She further alleged that India’s constitutional institutions are under threat in the current Modi regime. That is why, she said, the INDIA bloc fielded a candidate with deep constitutional knowledge and integrity. She stressed that protecting the Constitution requires Sudarshan Reddy’s election as Vice President and vowed to work for his victory.

With both alliances putting forward strong candidates, the election is set to become another significant test of strength and unity between the ruling coalition and the opposition camp at the national level.
