"The meeting will be chaired by Pradesh Congress Committee President Luizinho Faleiro. All the frontal organisations of the party, Pradesh Congress committeeand legislative party members will deliberate on the issue of alliance for upcoming polls during the meeting," Congress Goa spokesman Sunil Kawathankar told PTI today.
He said during the visit of AICC General Secretary Digvijay Singh to the state in mid-June month, the discussion on pre-poll alliance with like-minded parties was initiated.
A large group of Congress legislators including Vishwajit Rane, Jeniffer Monserratte, Digambar Kamat, Pandurang Madkaikar, Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco and others have already publicly voiced their demand to go for an alliance.
Rane had threatened to quit the party, if Congress wants to go alone for the upcoming Goa State Legislative Assembly elections.
The Congress which faced a humiliating defeat in the 2012 Goa polls is now gearing up for elections due before March 2017.
