Overview

• Arvind Kejriwal inaugurated an AAP office in Mayem near Panaji and used the event to accuse the BJP and Congress of working together to siphon Goa’s resources.
• He claimed 13–14 families have dominated the state’s politics for six decades, framing AAP as an alternative to what he described as entrenched rule.
• Kejriwal alleged Chief Minister Pramod Sawant intends to field his wife from the Mayem seat and pledged that AAP will not nominate relatives of its leaders.
• He further alleged that Goa Congress president Amit Patkar owns mines that operate with the chief minister’s consent, describing the two parties as united in plundering resources.
• Separately, he ruled out any alliance with Congress for the 2027 Assembly elections, citing past defections to the BJP, while AAP’s Atishi said the party aims to form the next Goa government using its ‘Delhi model’ pitch.
