PANAJI: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Goa said that they would not run in the election for the state’s lone Rajya Sabha seat. On July 24, a vote would be taken to fill the Upper House position.
According to Amit Palekar, the president of AAP Goa, his party would only run in the election if they had the necessary mandate. He declared that the party would not run a candidate or participate in the electoral process.
“We don’t want to squander the Assembly’s valuable time. That is not acceptable to us,” Palekar remarked. The election would occur during the Goa Legislative Assembly’s monsoon session, which begins on July 17.
Palekar responded that the party had not yet chosen a candidate when asked whether he would back a Congress candidate.
“When we have a majority in the Goa Assembly, we will run for Rajya Sabha,” he declared.
As of now, Palekar said that AAP has decided to contest both the seats of Lok Sabha on its own.
“We will announce the names of the candidates soon,” Amit Palekar.
