Team Goemkarponn PANAJI: The Grand Opposition Alliance in Goa appears to be fraying, with Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) president Amit Patkar stating on Thursday that the alliance with the Revolutionary Goans Party (RGP) has “prima facie broken.” Patkar said the RGP’s decision to announce a candidate for the St Cruz Zilla Panchayat seat—currently held by Congress—has raised serious concerns. “Now he is asking for our sitting ZP ticket. In future, they may even ask for constituencies where we have our three MLAs,” Patkar said, questioning RGP’s intentions within the alliance framework. He added that RGP has also declared its…
