Asserting that the contest in Goa is between the Congress and the BJP, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram said his assessment that the AAP and the Trinamool Congress will only "fracture" the non-BJP vote has been "confirmed" by Arvind Kejriwal. Hitting back at P Chidambaram, AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal said Goans will vote where they see hope and "Congress is hope for BJP, not Goans".
