It is Advantage BJP in Goa as AAP, GFP, MGP Spoil Congress' Chances

News 18  

Goa is headed for a hung assembly yet again as the BJP falls one seat short of the magic number 21, but one thing is for sure: the exit polls were off the mark for expecting that it will be a close fight between BJP and Congress. What we are seeing now is that the BJP is much ahead of the Congress occupying the status of the single largest party with a lead in roughly 20 seats, while the grand old party has been reduced to 11 seats with its pre-poll ally Goa Forward Party. But a lot changed towards the end of BJP’s last term in office in Goa— Congress was left only with about 2 MLAs as defection affected the party significantly. Recently, Maharashtra BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis called the MGP a “natural ally” hinting towards the possibility of a post-poll alliance.
