Problem of plenty for Goan electorate

Goan voters could be facing a unique challenge while exercising their franchise in the forthcoming assembly elections. They could be facing the problem of plenty.

Goans must also be aware that opting for NOTA could bring a party into power which may not be in the interest of the state. Goans have a number of political parties to choose from.
