Rebel RSS leader Subhash Velingkar today asked Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) to make it clear within two days, if it is ready to strike an alliance with his outfit Goa Suraksha Manch (GSM) for upcoming assembly polls.

"We have conveyed a message to the central committee of MGP that if the talks of alliance has to happen it should start at the earliest. They should get back with their intentions in next two days," Velingkar told PTI.

Goa Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar had yesterday said that he dropped two MGP ministers from his Cabinet to prevent the BJP cadres from getting demoralised by their outbursts in the poll-bound state, even as the ally chose to continue support to the government, citing "coalition dharma".
 

"GSM feels that if they have alliance with MGP, then the resultswould be much favourable for both the parties (GSM and MGP) during upcoming polls," said Velingkar.

GSM has already announced their alliance with Shiv Sena and Goa Praja Party.

Velingkar said MGP will have to withdraw their support from BJP-led state government before sitting across the table to talk for forming an alliance with GSM.

Parsekar on Monday night sacked MGP's Sudin Dhavalikar and Dipak Dhavalikar from his Cabinet following their outburst against the BJP-led government, raising prospects of new equations emerging in state where elections are due next year.
