People power in Goa is set to unleash its verdict on the outcome for the Valentine Day polls to the legislative assembly.
A major factor is that since on an average 7 to 8 candidates are contesting per constituency, splitting of votes is set to dictate the verdict. The migrant vote bank is the largest chunk of voters and play a major role. Another major share of the votes up to the extent of 2.5 lakh votes is going to be polled in the mining belt which is clearly against the incumbent dispensation.
Also the about 70,000 taxi owners are set to play a big role. The traditional ramponkars are another major block.
Interesting also would be to predict on the fate of the 73% of old faces who will confront the electorate. In the fairness of things it may be prudent to expect that the Congress and the BJP would win in 1/3rd of the total seats (that is 13 to 14 seats) and the remainder 1/3rd would be distributed amongst the TMC-MGP combine, the AAP and to a lesser extent the NCP-RSS alliance, RGP and Independents.
