Orlim: Orlim Carnival 2026 turned into a show of political unity as senior leaders and grassroots representatives from South Goa shared the dais, signalling coordination ahead of the 2027 Assembly Elections.
Former Deputy Chief Minister and Fatorda MLA Vijai Sardesai and Benaulim MLA Venzy Viegas were present at the event, along with Colva ZP member Antonio Fernandes (Mam), Colva Sarpanch Treza, Carmona Sarpanch Sandra, Orlim Sarpanch Simon and former ZP member Joseph.
The joint presence of leaders from different constituencies and local bodies was widely viewed as a strong message of political coordination rooted in grassroots leadership and people-centric issues.
Addressing the gathering, the leaders emphasised the importance of unity, strengthening local governance and collective action to tackle key concerns affecting Goans, including livelihoods, development and protection of local interests.
With the 2027 Assembly elections on the horizon, the event underscored a growing sentiment for collaborative politics and a united approach to governance in South Goa.
Orlim Carnival 2026 thus went beyond being a cultural celebration, emerging as a platform reflecting evolving political alignment focused on unity, accountability and people-first governance.
