ECHOES OF OPPN UNITYTO BE FELT IN GOA Elvidio Miranda The call of a national stir by at least 19 opposition parties from 20th September, consisting of Congress, TMC, DMK, NCP, Shiv Sena, JMM, CPI, CPM, RJD, JD (S), RLD, NC and PDP amongst others is bound to have reverberations in the Assembly polls in Goa to be held tentatively by February, 2022, provided all the opposition parties in Goa consisting of the Congress, Aam Aadmi, Goa Forward Party, NCP, Goencho Avaaz, Shiv Sena, MGP, Goa Revolutionary Party and independents seeking a change in regime in Goa join together to defeat the ruling BJP. The crystallization of a joint front in the Centre of Opposition parties will definitely lead to a massive show of strength that will have extremely bright chances of forming a new government at the Centre. In Goa too, all opposition parties have to join hands and fight the Assembly polls under one banner. Definitely both at the Centre and in Goa, opposition unity will succeed in dislodging BJP-led governments by sheer force of unity.
