BJP to form govt in Goa
In 2017, the BJP had won 13 seats in the 40-member assembly, where the simple majority mark is 21. The Congress won 11 seats, down from 17 five years ago, and its ally Goa Forward Party (GFP) one. Three Independents also made it to the assembly. The AAP and the MGP won two seats each, while the Revolutionary Goans Party bagged one seat. The Mamata Banerjee-led TMC, which had a pre-poll alliance with the MGP drew a blank. As it emerged as the single largest party, the BJP quickly secured the support of the three Independent MLAs and the MGP, taking their combined tally in the new House to 25, well above the majority mark.
No untoward incident was reported in State during the counting. BJP won 20 seats, Indian National Congress Plus alliance 12, Maharastrawadi Gomantak Party 2, Trinumool Congress Party 0, Aam Aadmi party 2, Revolutionary Goan Party 1, Independent 3.
