Goa Forward Party announces pre-poll alliance with Congress

Before the upcoming Goa parliamentary elections next year, the Goa Kadima Party (GFP) has announced an alliance with the parliament. On Saturday, the two parties held a joint press conference in Goa to confirm the alliance.

Vijay Sardesai, Chairman of the Goa Kadima Party, said: “We have said in the past that on the eve of the 60th anniversary of Goa’s liberation, we will provide you with an alliance to liberate Goa from these democratically elected dictatorships.”

Goa Liberation Day is celebrated on December 19 every year to commemorate the success of the “Operation Vijay” that the Indian armed forces liberated Goa from Portuguese rule.

“Together for Goa,” the Goa Kadima Party tweeted from its official Twitter, with a photo of its leader holding hands with the congressional leader. It is worth noting that the Goa Kadima was part of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National League for Democracy (NDA) earlier and participated in the last state poll together in 2017. However, after disagreements with the Saffron camp, it left the NDA in 2019.

“The strong anti-BJP sentiment of the people of Goa is now a powerful force,” Sadsay wrote in a tweet on Saturday, shortly after the alliance was announced before the vote. “Liberation of Goa is not only our goal, but also the goal of every Goemkar. We will work together to end the most corrupt, unethical and unethical government in Goa’s history.”

Last week, Sardesai was invited by Dinesh Gundu Rao, head of the Goa National Assembly, to meet with Girish Chodankar, head of the grand old party state unit, which initiated the pre-voting coalition negotiations between the two parties.

On November 30, Sadesai met with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and stated that he was “proud to be able to work for the second liberation of Goa with the great-grandson of those who contributed to the first liberation”.

“The curse of the community and the anti-Goa Pramod Sawan government will be blown away!” The chairman of the Goa Kadima Party announced on Twitter.

At the same time, Congress announced the first eight candidates for the polls for the state assembly earlier this week.

The party sent Tony Rodrigues from the Taleigao parliamentary seat and Rajesh Verenkar from the Ponda constituency. Former chief ministers Digambar Kamat and Sudhir Kanolkar will also compete for seats in the Margao parliament and Mapusa parliamentary seats, respectively.

The 2022 Goa elections will be held in February to elect 40 members of the Legislative Assembly, of which 21 seats are required to obtain a majority.

2 ‘Kala Jatheri gang members’ killed in encounter with F’bad cops in Fatehabad

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody
The Faridabad police gunned down two members of the Kala Jatheri gang in an encounter near Fatehabad on Friday, officers said. A constable was injured in the gunfight, they added.

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody.

The identity of one of the deceased was not known, while the other was identified as Ravi (single name), who had 28 cases lodged against him in multiple districts.

Aman Yadav, assistant commissioner of Police (ACP), Faridabad said the incident occurred when the police van stopped near a roadside eatery on the outskirts of Fatehabad while transporting Ravi back to Faridabad jail after a court appearance in an Arms Act case.

“Four armed individuals attacked the police team, firing multiple rounds to facilitate Ravi’s escape. In retaliation, police returned fire, killing Ravi and another suspect on the spot,” Yadav said.

Constable Sarjeet Yadav suffered a gunshot wound to his left forearm. He was rushed to a civic hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable, said police.

Yadav said that Ravi, who had been lodged in Faridabad jail since April 24, 2023, was being transported after attending an appeal hearing at the Fatehabad court. The ambush, allegedly orchestrated by Ravi’s associates, was intended to secure his release from custody. The police’s swift response thwarted the plan.

Ravi had a long history of violent crimes, including murder, attempted murder, dacoity, robbery, and Arms Act violations. His activities spanned multiple districts, such as Sonipat, Jind, Rohtak, Faridabad, and Delhi. He was a key member of the Kala Jathedi gang, led by the notorious gangster Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, who is currently in Tihar Jail.

Kala Jathedi himself is implicated in over a dozen cases across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. In 2020, he famously escaped from Haryana Police custody during a similar ambush orchestrated by his gang.

ACP Yadav confirmed that police teams are actively investigating to identify the remaining attackers involved in the ambush. “We are working to uncover the identities of the other suspects who participated in the operation. Stringent action will be taken against all involved,” Yadav said.

This encounter is part of an ongoing crackdown on organized crime, with authorities aiming to dismantle gangs operating in the region.
