Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh today chaired a meeting of the state Congress's coordination committee which chalked out strategies for next year's Assembly elections.
"Block committees have been asked to give opinion about the (potential) candidates. The names would be then discussed by district committees," Singh told reporters.
A "charge-sheet" against the present BJP-led Government was being given the final touches, he said.
"Congress party will take up door-to-door campaign and visit every household in next three months...All the frontal organisations would be asked to distribute this charge-sheet to the voters," he said.
Congress will also highlight "failure" of AAP Government in Delhi, he said.
AAP is also aiming to enter Goa in a big way through the Assembly elections and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal recently toured the state and addressed public meetings.
"Kejriwal has been tom-tomming his achievements in Delhi. The fact remains that he has not been able to fulfil all the election promises, there are corruption charges against the ministers, AAP MLAs and he is doing the same thing for which he used to criticise others before coming to power," Singh said.
Asked about possible alliances in Goa, Singh said as of now there was no proposal from any like-minded party and Congress was preparing to contest all the seats.
