The politics of Goa, a small state in the country, has emerged as a golden opportunity for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). AAP is looking at the upcoming Panchayati elections as a big opportunity. Taking lessons from Punjab, Arvind Kejriwal now knows that gaining the trust of the people is the most important thing to winning a state. Following this policy, AAP defeated all the prominent leaders and conquered the fort of Punjab. Congress, on the other hand, is still grappling with infighting. A report has come to the fore that about eight Congress MLAs in Goa have expressed their desire to join the BJP. You think he will never have a better chance of becoming the main opposition.
Till a few years ago, a section of politicians and commentators from India used to underestimate Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party as the political party of the country. But with a resounding victory in the Punjab Assembly elections and two seats in the Goa Assembly this year, AAP has proved that it has made the fastest-growing political debut in the country.
Goa has a remarkable history of political defection. For example, during his five-year tenure as MLA in the previous state assembly, 50% of them switched parties. Significantly, Congress MLA Michael Lobo, who was allegedly plotting to defect to the BJP, switched to the saffron party just before the elections.
AAP's 'Niti' praised in Goa
Political groups such as the Trinamool Congress, led by Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, are trying to break up all parties, including the Congress, the Goa Forward Party, and others. Even during the assembly elections, both the Congress and the BJP did the same thing. It is important to remember here that the AAP has avoided the aggressive political hunting politics of Goa. Though some of the AAP candidates have joined from other parties, Arvind Kejriwal's party emphasized new and grassroots politicians. While the TMC roped in Congress veteran Luizinho Faleiro to lead the party, the AAP made newcomer Amit Palekar its CM face in the state. These gestures have helped you become credible in front of citizens.
Lessons learned from Punjab?
AAP is all set to contest assembly elections in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh this year. But the party from Punjab has realized that it is necessary to be present on the ground and keep working for the people. This is important for the development of the party in any state. At this juncture, Goa is the best possible option for AAP as it has both electoral presence and ground connectivity.
Congress is not good
Meanwhile, the condition of Congress is not good across the country. The party is declining in every other state. On the one hand, there is growing discontent within the state leadership of the party and on the other hand, people in many states can see veteran Congress leaders joining the BJP. Dissatisfaction among the Congress leaders is continuously coming to the fore in Goa too. According to the report, eight Congress MLAs have expressed their desire to join the BJP.
Your campaign in Goa
In Goa, AAP has started its campaign with a request to citizens not to vote for Congress. Senior AAP leader and Goa in-charge Atishi tweeted, 'How many MLAs does Congress have? The classic headline of all the states that have Congress MLAs. Sooner or later this number is heading towards zero! As Arvind Kejriwal has said time and again, voting for Congress is like voting for BJP!
AAP sources have confirmed that the party will use the growing discontent with Congress as its base to reach out to the people of Goa. The main strategy of the party will be to tell the people that Congress will eventually betray the people of the state and the time has come for the Goans to understand who the real opposition is.
Special strategy for Panchayat elections
Panchayat elections are near in Goa. It is believed that elections can be held in August. This election is an important battle for you. The party has already started reaching out to OBCs for this election. Taking lessons from Punjab, Kejriwal now knows that gaining the trust of the people is the most important thing to winning a state. Following this method and working at the grassroots level, the party defeated all the prominent leaders and conquered the fort of Punjab. On the other hand, after the growing disillusionment within the Congress in Goa and the loose grip of the TMC, the Aam Aadmi Party can give a golden opportunity to fill the opposition's place.
