Goa | Yatra of hope for Congress

The party revs its ground force with a 'Save Goa Yatra', but the last mile is a big oneARM IN ARM: Telangana CM Revanth Reddy (with folded hands) lending his support to Congress peers in Goa, Oct. 11ISSUE DATE: Oct 26, 2026 | Oct 17, 2026 14:36 IST It’s not only in delhi that the congress has suddenly hit the streets. Boots on the ground, many of them, is how it’s approaching next year’s electoral test in Goa, where it will have stared gloomily at sunsets for 15 long years by then.
