PANAJI: MGP Supremo Sudin Dhavalikar said that they are not in favour of having an alliance with any national party as of now for the upcoming assembly elections slated for February 2022.
“We are not in favour of having an alliance with any national party as of now for the upcoming assembly elections slated for February 2022,” said Sudin
The MGP, one of the state’s oldest regional political parties, had allied with the BJP in the 2012 polls and was part of an alliance government led by then Chief Minister late Manohar Parrikar.
The party broke away from the alliance ahead of the 2017 state Assembly polls, only to become part of a BJP-led coalition government led by Parrikar once again, after the BJP fell short of a majority.
After Parrikar’s death, the MGP broke away from the alliance once again, after two of its three elected MLAs split the party and merged into the BJP.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant had recently ruled out any possibility of early elections in Goa stating that it will happen only in February 2022.
