The 2 new parties from other states are additional standby engines for the electorate, apart from few others to see if they can get a piece of the pie. In the last election, AAP candidates lost their deposits in all the seats they stood, except for 1. These parties coming to power will benefit their state of origin and not Goa - Goa will remain high but dry. It will be the same with TMC entering the field. The danger is, the votes will split and the unexpected will win as only 35% votes will be required and other will be in the opposition to make noise. Most Goans may not even know what that means?  Will they stand in the assembly once elected or the local MLAs have to keep up with the promises made. Let's vote to save Goa and wait for the unpredictable election results with so many teams registered for 1 trophy.
