Goa Forward Party quits NDA over “Anti-Goan Policies”

The Goa Forward Party walked out of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) today, citing “anti-Goan policies” of the BJP-led state government

In a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is also the chairperson of the NDA, Sardesai said, “There is no doubt that our relationship with the NDA ended in July 2019, with no room for reconsideration. So, consistent with our democratic commitments and the will of the people of Goa we announce the termination of our participation in the NDA.”

The decision to quit the NDA was taken by the party’s state executive committee which met at the party headquarters on Gudi Padva

However, the move of the Goa Forward Party, which has 3 MLAs in the 40-member Goa House, will not have any impact on the Pramod Sawant government
