Congress has accepted defeat in Punjab polls, says Kejriwal on party criticism of AAP-GFP pact
Panaji, Sep 16 (PTI) Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said the Congress’s criticism of the AAP’s alliance with a regional outfit in Goa for the 2027 Assembly polls shows the Grand Old Party has already conceded defeat in Punjab where elections are also due early next year.
The AAP and Goa Forward Party (GFP) announced an alliance under the banner of ‘Goa First’ on September 13 for the upcoming Assembly polls in the coastal state.
Goa Congress president Girish Chodankar has dubbed the AAP-GFP alliance as an “exchange offer” with the BJP, which rules the tiny tourist state. Chodankar has claimed the tie-up was part of an arrangement under which the BJP would support the AAP in Punjab, while the Kejriwal-led party would support the saffron outfit in Goa.
