Senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram on January 30 said an alliance could not be forged between his party and the NCP-Shiv Sena for the Goa Assembly polls despite best efforts but asserted that they “will remain friends” and after the elections, the Congress would continue to explore opportunities to “work together” with them.
Mr. Chidambaram, who is the Congress’ senior election observer for the Goa Assembly polls, also hit out at the TMC for its barbs at the Congress for not forging an alliance with it, saying the party continued to poach Congress leaders, despite making an offer of a tie-up.
