(Express Photo)As the Aam Aadmi Party gears up for the upcoming assembly polls in Goa early next year, the party has set up study teams in the state to conduct detailed reports on three major issues: mining, migration of youth due to unemployment and casinos. Mining, for example, is a complex issue in Goa and there cannot be an arbitrary stand on it. So we have to look for a middle path,” Pankaj Gupta, AAP Goa state-in-charge told The Indian Express. “Simultaneously we are holding Goa Dialogues in every constituency and also special sessions with women, youth, fishermen and tribals, communities that need special attention. Party leaders maintained that Goa being a much smaller state with just 40 seats — Punjab has 117– is unlikely to throw up challenges of organization building and campaigning as in the northern state.
