Panaji, Oct 12 : The Congress is positioned as a pivot for non-BJP opposition parties, former Union Finance Minister P.Chidambaram said on Tuesday, while adding that a decision whether the party will form an alliance or go alone in the 2022 Goa polls, has not been taken yet.
“As far as I’m concerned, the Congress party is a pivot of the non-BJP opposition and the party will contest these elections with the absolute confidence that we will win the elections.How we will win the election, you will know later,” Chidambaram told a press conference in Panaji on Tuesday.
The former Union Minister has been appointed as the senior All India Congress Committee observer in-charge of Goa to oversee election strategies and co-ordination for Goa assembly elections, which are scheduled to be held in early 2022.
When asked if the Congress was in talks with other political parties over formation of a pre-poll alliance, Chidambaram said: “Whenever a decision is taken you’ll be told about it.As I said, our present effort is to get the party battle ready in all 40 constituencies and we are going about it in a systematic manner.Whenever a discussion begins or a discussion ends, you will be told about it” #Congress #pivot #oppn #Chidambaram
