IndiaCongress leader Mallikarjun Kharge called for 'Ekvott' (unity) during his visit to Goa, urging opposition parties to form alliances ahead of the 2027 assembly elections. The Congress is seeking partnerships with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and regional parties like the Goa Forward Party and Revolutionary Goans Party to prevent a split opposition vote against the BJP. State Congress president Girish Chodankar emphasized the need for cooperation, noting that opposition parties must agree on a common minimum program for an alliance. Previous elections in 2022 saw a fractured opposition, leading to BJP securing 20 out of 40 seats. Civil society groups like 'Priority Goa' have also pushed for unified opposition efforts to challenge BJP dominance.
