Amit Patkar, President – Goa Pradesh Congress Committee Mr. Kejriwal, Goans Will Not Forgive Opportunistic Politics*

Panjim:Goa has suffered for more than two decades under the BJP’s corrupt and destructive rule. From land scams and job betrayal to Gundaraj and the systematic erosion of Goa’s identity, every Goan knows that BJP is solely responsible for this destruction.At such a time, instead of fighting the BJP, Mr. Arvind Kejriwal has once again chosen the path of opportunism. He lands in Goa only during elections — not to challenge BJP, but to attack Congress and divide the Opposition vote. His politics is not about defeating BJP; it is about protecting them. This is why Goans rightly call AAP the BJP’s B-Team.Goans have not forgotten the last Assembly elections. AAP played only a vote-cutting role. It had no concern for Goans’ well-being, no vision for Goa’s development, and no commitment to protect our identity. The only outcome of AAP’s entry was to indirectly strengthen BJP.While Congress and its karyakartas have consistently stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Goans — fighting unemployment, exposing corruption, protecting the environment, and defending Goa’s identity — AAP has been absent when people suffered, silent when BJP trampled democracy, and invisible when solidarity was most needed.Mr. Kejriwal’s pattern is clear: when BJP loots, he looks away. When BJP tramples democracy, he stays quiet. But when elections come, he suddenly arrives with cameras, soundbites, and false promises. This is not politics; this is betrayal of the people.Congress is, and will remain, the real Opposition and the true voice of Goa.We are not here for theatrics, we are here for struggle. We are not here to confuse, we are here to confront. We are not here to save BJP, we are here to defeat them.Goans are wise. They know that Congress has the spine, the history, and the vision to take on BJP and protect Goa’s future. Opportunism may bring Mr. Kejriwal headlines today, but it is Congress that will continue to win the trust of Goans.Amit PatkarPresident, Goa Pradesh Congress Committee
