Is Goa on the way to a hung assembly?

Just two months are left for the people of Goa to vote for another term of 5 years. After the entry of various political parties in the State, it looks like we are going to face a hung assembly. Right from AAP, TMC, NCP, GFP, Shiv Sena, RG Su-Raj Party, along with MGP, Congress and ruling BJP are in fray. MGP being the regional party and the oldest party has not come with a coalition agenda. The aim of every party is to defeat BJP as there are many issues before the state that have not been tackled or addressed by the party. The issue of mining, double tracking, Mhadei, coal hub, unemployment, etc are the burning issues before the State.

The youth are looking for jobs and may go with the party which assures them employment opportunities. Anything can happen this time. Goans will get another shot at deciding who will govern for the next 5 years.
