AAP mocks Congress over defections, Oppn friction grows in Goa

PANAJI: (Oct 4) The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Goa on Sunday took a swipe at the Congress over the history of defections by its MLAs, sharpening friction within the Opposition ahead of the 2027 assembly elections.

Mocking the grand old party’s credibility with the slogan “Ek Kachori Do Samosa, Is Congress Ka Kya Bharosa” (One kachori, two samosas, how can Congress be trusted?), the AAP, in a post on social media, shared pictures of former Congress MLAs who joined the ruling BJP in 2019 and 2022.

In 2019, as many as 10 Congress MLAs switched sides to the BJP, while eight more legislators defected to the ruling party in 2022.
