Will new parties make a dent in Goa?


TMC has entered political scene with a bang by poaching high profile Congress and other leaders. One is rewarded with a MP’s post in his sunset years.

The poaching of Churchill, Reginaldo and other workers, supporters of local bodies is in the same category of creating publicity blitz.

That the TMC has wiped of the Marxists is its greatest achievement, but law and order, scams, it's ability to secure funds for West Bengal is a far cry. And now in Goa will they be able to take on the BJP?

AAP is also poaching on politicians of other parties, even though it has a much larger presence in the State. Kejriwal is not only shrewd, but an intelligent fighter as he has successfully shown it in Delhi twice in a row. 

We only hope the division of votes will not stand to benefit BJP.
