The ZP Polls Non-BJP Alliance debate has intensified as the Zilla Panchayat elections draw closer. The ZP Polls Non-BJP Alliance idea now dominates political discussions in South Goa, where the Congress hopes to unite regional players before the BJP strengthens its hold.
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.
