MGP-TMC pact: Testing time ahead

Just around 60 days to go for elections in Goa and political agenda is changing day by day. MGP, Goa's oldest party with Dayanand Bandodkar being first chief minister decided to tie-up with TMC the new face in Goan politics.

Today the political scene in Goa is changing day by day as the election approaches. Leaders are shifting from one party to another thinking the party they join can deliver for Goa. 

Manohar Parrikar was the one man in keeping the BJP afloat in Goa, but the government of the day has not lived up to the expectations. 

Today Goa faces different challenges -- environment, jobs for youth, coal hub etc. 

With an increase in the number of parties in Goa and various political alliances by leaders, the coming days will be crucial.

The people of Goa are smart and intelligent enough to know the agenda of different parties and their delivery after elections.

For the present, MGP and TMC might be looking for good number of seats in forthcoming elections and may capitalise on split in votes from the BJP and the Congress due to other parties.

Let us wait and watch.
