With the Trinamool Congress deciding to field its Rajya Sabha MP and former Goa Chief Minister Luizinho Faleiro from the Fatorda constituency, the heat is on Vijai Sardesai and his Goa Forward Party (GFP) in the forthcoming Goa Assembly election.
Mr. Sardesai, a two-time MLA from Fatorda, now faces stiff competition in the polls slated to be held on February 14. The Trinamool had declared its first list of 11 candidates late Tuesday which also includes former CM Churchill Alemao (Benaulim constituency) and his daughter Valanka Alemao (from Navelim).
Mr. Sardesai’s GFP currently has tied up with the Congress. The GFP had emerged as a ‘kingmaker’ after the 2017 Assembly election result threw up a fractured mandate. The backing of the three GFP MLAs had been critical in helping the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) form the government under the late Manohar Parrikar.
