“I request our alliance partners to support us and help us to win this election,” he said, adding that as an alliance they are intact and working together.

Palekar said that they had a meeting with Congress a month back and now they have started work as the election is nearing.

However, the Congress termed the decision as ‘premature step’.

“I dont know why AAP Goa President Amit Palekar addressed a premature press conference to announce the Lok Sabha candidate for South Goa which has a sitting Congress MP.Talks over seat arrangements are still underway and the decision will be taken by the INDIA bloc leaders in Delhi,” said Congress President Amit Patkar.
