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.

Train smarter, not harder: How taking occasional breaks from gym can revolutionise your fitness routine
Taking regular breaks from intense training, like deload weeks, helps your body recover, preventing fatigue and injury, and ultimately boosts fitness gains.
When it comes to getting fit, the idea of spending hours at the gym might come to mind, but many fitness experts argue that taking a “deload week” every six to eight weeks is actually key to improving your fitness gains. A deload week involves reducing the intensity of workouts to allow the body to recover from the fatigue and muscle damage caused by intense training.
While high-intensity training helps build strength and fitness, it can also lead to muscle strain, and without adequate recovery, these gains can’t fully materialise. Deload weeks give the body much-needed rest to repair and rebuild, ensuring continued progress.

Why recovery is key for muscle growth
According to an article by The Conversation, intense exercise can cause tiny tears in muscle fibres, leading to inflammation that requires rest or low-intensity exercise to heal. This inflammation is essential for muscle growth and fitness improvements. However, without proper recovery, muscles remain in a state of slight damage, preventing inflammation from resolving. This chronic state of inflammation can hinder muscle function, reducing oxygen efficiency and impairing performance. Giving muscles time to recover through rest ensures they repair properly and are primed for continued progress, setting us up for greater success in our fitness journey.
Many gymgoers fear taking time off and are worried it will lead to a loss of gains. However, research shows that muscle genes have a “memory imprint,” which keeps them in a semi-prepared state. This allows muscles to respond more quickly and effectively to future training, promoting growth after a rest period. Even after extended periods of reduced intensity, up to seven weeks, muscular fitness can be restored to prime condition—and in some cases, surpass previous levels. Interestingly, recovery can occur twice as fast as it took to reach peak fitness initially, even if some strength is lost.
Taking time off from intense training is crucial to prevent muscle soreness and avoid overtraining syndrome. Overtraining occurs when the body doesn’t get enough rest, leading to prolonged fatigue, decreased performance, and mood disturbances. Symptoms develop gradually, making overtraining difficult to recognize until it’s severe. Rest is essential to avoid these issues and ensure long-term progress in training.
Role of overtraining syndrome and deload weeks
Overtraining syndrome is challenging to quantify due to its vague symptoms. Studies suggest it may affect as few as 10% of elite athletes, though rates could climb to 60% among highly competitive individuals. Recovery is essential for both fitness and overall health. When engaging in heavy gym routines, it’s vital to incorporate sufficient recovery time into your workout plan. Unlike rest days, which involve little to no exercise once or twice a week, deload weeks feature lighter training at reduced intensity—typically about 50% fewer workouts or a 20% drop in workout intensity.
Both rest days and deload weeks are essential for recovery and crucial to improving fitness. It’s not about choosing one over the other—they complement each other. For instance, intense training for marathons, Ironman, or CrossFit competitions requires weekly rest days alongside scheduled deload weeks. However, for recreational gym-goers exercising 1–3 times weekly at a moderate intensity, the recovery from this routine is often sufficient without the need for additional deload weeks.
Fitness influencers recommend incorporating deload weeks into training schedules every 4–8 weeks, aligning closely with the expert advice of 4–6 weeks. However, it’s crucial to listen to your body and schedule deload weeks as needed. If your performance plateaus or worsens, it may signal time for a deload. Training plans should be flexible enough to allow rest when required. Deload weeks not only enhance performance but also support overall health.
