Nagpur: The Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) have decided to contest the Goa assembly elections together in alliance.
The announcement was made by Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday. Raut said, “Shiv Sena and NCP will contest together in Goa assembly elections. There will be a discussion on seat sharing on January 18. NCP’s senior leader Praful Patel will discuss the seat-sharing formula in Goa on January 18. Only after that, it will be clear who will contest on how many seats.”
He added that the political dynamics are different in Maharashtra and Goa. “The Congress has decided to contest alone without forming an alliance with any other party in the state,” the Sena leader added. The decision comes after the seat-sharing talks with the Congress collapsed.
Goa elections are set to be held in a single phase on February 14 and the results will be announced on March 10.
