Splintering of opposition votes in Goa! Who stands to gain from the AAP-Congress rift?

Assembly elections are due in Goa next year, yet political turmoil within the opposition camp has intensified well ahead of the polls. The AAP has formed an alliance with the Goa Forward Party (GFP) under the banner of ‘Goa First’. This move has sparked a war of words between the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party. Targeting Arvind Kejriwal, the Congress has labeled him a “photocopy of the BJP.” Meanwhile, Kejriwal has claimed that disgruntled BJP voters might opt ​​for the ‘Goa First’ alliance instead of the Congress.
