Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of dragging its feet over forming the new government in Goa, the Congress on Friday alleged that the saffron party, by not staking claim even a week after the declaration of results, should publicly admit its inability to form the next government.

Hinting that the Congress may have covert support from some BJP MLAs, senior Congress leader and ex-Goa Chief Minister Digambar Kamat said that a number of MLAs across party lines had approached the Congress to take lead in forming the government.

“The Congress party is open for all options to ensure that a non-BJP government is formed in Goa that will uphold the verdict of the Assembly polls,” Mr. Kamat said, speaking to reporters in Panaji.
