Margao: Former Revolutionary Goans (RG) president Manoj Parab will rejoin the party on Nov 22, said RG’s Vishvesh Naik.Parab, the founder and former president of RG, had resigned from both his post and the party in May 2026. His exit brought into the open a bitter factional feud with the party’s lone MLA, Viresh Borkar. The Borkar faction of RG has already entered into alliance talks with Congress, with discussions on seat sharing said to be under way.Parab was initially supposed to rejoin RG on Oct 2, which has now been deferred to Nov 22. The war of words between the two factions on social media, however, continues unabated, with Parab and his team venting venom against Borkar and his group.While Naik admitted the split within the party, he maintained that RG’s core principles remain unchanged. These include protecting Goa’s land, conserving natural resources and fighting land scams and illegal land grabbing. Naik said the party would continue to raise these issues.RG’s Ajay Kholkar said Parab had become a hurdle for some members within the party, but that group was no longer part of RG. With elections approaching, Kholkar said the party needs Parab and is looking forward to his return.RG functionaries said Parab’s return was finalised following a series of meetings and discussions with him.In the 2022 assembly elections, RG made an impact by polling nearly 10% of the vote share, cutting into the votes of both BJP and Congress. The party had contested 38 of the 40 assembly seats.
