No alliance with Trinamool Congress for Goa assembly elections: AAP

Dec 12, 2021

Panaji (Goa) [India], December 12 : Aam Aadmi Party won't form an alliance with Trinamool Congress, said AAP putting rest to all speculations of an alliance ahead of 2022 Goa assembly elections.
"AAP won't form an alliance with the Trinamool Congress for the upcoming elections and the party is determined to provide a fresh alternative in the state," reads the party statement.
"I say with full responsibility that there will be no alliance with TMC. So, there is no question of any talks with them. We are determined to give Goa a fresh alternative with good candidates and form an honest corruption-free government, " tweeted AAP leader Atishi.
"Atishi was responding to a tweet by a West Bengal-based journalist, who quoted a media report saying that the AAP is looking to forge an alliance with the TMC in Goa. The Mamata Banerjee-led party is yet to decide on the proposal, but the two sides have held a round of discussion on the issue," said the statement released by AAP.
"There are daily reports about someone switching parties in the state. Sometimes a leader leaves the party and goes to another party. Sometimes a party makes an alliance with another party. Sometimes a party stands in opposition and campaigns against the particular party and forms the government with the same party, " said Atishi.
"The leaders of Goa have been thinking about self-development till date. They only think about how to enrich themselves through corruption. The politicians never thought about developing the state. That's why AAP is determined to change the politics of Goa and AAP is the only party which will provide honest governance in the state", she added.
Goa Assembly polls are scheduled to be held early next year.
