However, Congress has now denied this claim of a tie-up with TMC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The rumor in circulation that a possible alliance with TMC was discussed by Shri Rahul Gandhi in today&#8217;s meeting is completely baseless &amp; untrue. Let me assure you that the Congress party is confident- we will put Goa back on the path to progress soon,&#8221; Venugopal tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>Rahul Gandhi had been holding discussions on new possible new entrants after some MLAs in the state left the BJP. He held a meeting on Monday evening with General Secretary KC Venugopal and Senior Observer of AICC for Goa P Chidambaram through video conferencing and took stock of the poll preparedness and Congress campaign strategy in the state where voting for assembly polls is scheduled to be held on February 14. Earlier, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) confirmed that they would not forge an alliance with Trinamool Congress for the 2022 Goa assembly elections.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the ruling BJP in Goa lost two MLAs in rapid sequence on Monday, after Pravin Zantye, sitting MLA from the Mayem, resigned as a legislator and rejected the party&#8217;s primary membership. The resignation followed hours after Ports Minister in the BJP-led government, Michael Lobo, resigned as a minister and MLA from the party.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.hamslive.com\/news\/2022\/01\/congress-leader-venugopal-says-no-talks-regarding-an-alliance-with-tmc\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior Congress leader KC Venugopal has said that no talks regarding an alliance with TMC were held during his meeting with Rahul Gandhi.
