A sensible Decision has to be taken by RGP

Sir,
Every Goan will agree that this election has to be BJP on one side and other like minded parties on the opposite. This lok sabha elections is very crucial which will shape up our country's future and its people's lives. Harmonies living of all communities under the new govt is a dream of all right thinking Goans. For this we need a govt that will uphold our constitution without discrimination to any of its citizens. RGP in goa has been fighting for the rights of Goans. Goans too has acknowledge their good work by electing a MLA of their party. Although they have been labeled as a B team of the ruling dispensation many Goans think otherwise. This MP election is not for the regional parties to flex its muscles but to support the group of parties that have come together to defeat the BJP. RGP has to withdraw from the fray to clear the smoke of being a B team of BJP. This will give them the much required fillip in the next assembly elections 2027 where they will be rewarded with more MLA's and can work much better for the future of Goa. Even if they do not support the INDIA alliance their presence will definitely help the BJP win the seats which no Goan will forgive them their folly which in turn doom the party. We have seen the rise of GF during the 2017 election where Goans supported them fully but due to their proximity towards the ruling they lost all their creditability. The 2022 elections would have seen them ruling the state but no they crumbled down to a lone MLA. There is a lesson for RGP in this, quit the MP election and concentrate on the assembly elections and expect every true Goan to support your party in 2027.
