Goans should follow 2-party system at polls

A number of opportunist leaders are currently seen wooing Goans by unnecessarily running their own separate political parties (including some newly formed parties having absolutely no real following nor base at all) and dreaming of defeating the ruling BJP government in the upcoming assembly elections in Goa.

Can't we Goans henceforth follow a two-party system during elections to actually see the real final winner and to permanently bring long-term stability in the state?  

Well, I personally strongly feel that the BJP can be easily defeated but that is only if candidates of a common single rival political party are allowed  to have a one-two-one fight against all the BJP candidates on the lines of a boxing match with just two fighters challenging  each other in the ring in all the constituencies of Goa and not otherwise.  Hope better sense prevail...
