AAP-GFP Hoardings Stir Alliance Buzz Before Kejriwal’s Goa Visit
Hoardings showing the Aam Aadmi Party and Goa Forward Party appeared in Goa.
They carried a message warning people not to be cheated for a third time.
This led to speculation that the two parties may work together in the 2027 state election.
Arvind Kejriwal said he was visiting Goa to make a major announcement.
A Goa Forward Party leader said the alliance would be announced at a press conference on Sunday.
The proposed group would not include the Bharatiya Janata Party or the Indian National Congress.
The Goa Forward Party previously fought the 2022 election with Congress.
The Aam Aadmi Party contested that election separately and currently has two legislators in Goa.
Hoardings displaying AAP and GFP symbols appeared along Goa’s highways.
The slogan on the hoardings read, “Don’t let them cheat you the third time.”
A senior GFP functionary said an AAP-GFP alliance would be announced at Kejriwal’s Sunday press conference.

Goa’s legislative assembly elections are due before March 2027.
