AAP, TMC will be 'marginal players' in Goa Assembly polls: P. Chidambaram
The Hindu
The Congress leader said any alliance with smaller parties for the Goa Assembly polls is only possible if a party accepts that the Congress will be the pivot of the non-BJP formation
The Aam Aadmi Party and the TMC will be "marginal players" in the Goa Assembly polls and the Congress is best positioned to defeat the BJP and form the next government, senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram said on Sunday.
Mr Chidambaram, who is the Congress' senior election observer for the assembly polls next year, asserted that the Trinamool Congress' entry into Goa "appears to be an imposition from the top that is based in West Bengal" and said he does not know the Mamata Banerjee-led party's motive in trying to start a unit in Goa by "encouraging defections" from other parties.
In an interview with PTI, Mr Chidambaram said any alliance with smaller parties for the Goa assembly polls is only possible if a party accepts that the Congress will be the pivot of the non-BJP formation.
