"We will be able to tell by September 30 whether we want an alliance or not. I do not think any political party in Goa -- whether the BJP, MGP (Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party) or any other party -- is talking of alliance. They are saying give us three months. I am also saying give us three months," Faleiro told the media here.
Faleiro refused to comment on statements by several Congress leaders for the formation of a "grand alliance" before the assembly polls likely in early 2017.
The Congress has eight legislators in the 40-member assembly in Goa.
A majority of the Congress block units have ruled out the need for such a pre-poll tie-up ahead of the 2017 assembly elections.
Thirty eight blocks, party units at the assembly level, have already rejected the need for the pre-poll alliance, while Congress MLAs like Vishwajeet Rane and Aleixo Reginaldo have demanded such an alliance with like-minded parties to defeat the ruling BJP-led coalition.
"I am not taking these statements seriously as it's a family matter," the Congress leader said.
