Goa Elections to be held on February 14
Gomantak Times
The ABP C-Voter Survey voter survey on Monday predicted a hung assembly in Goa Assembly elections.
According to the ABP-C voter pre-poll survey, the battle in Goa appears to be tricornered between BJP, Congress and AAP. BJP is coming out ahead in 14 to 18 seats while Congress at 10 to 14 seats, and AAP at 4 to 8 assembly seats.
The survey has predicted that regional parties and independent candidates will again play a key role in forming the next government as none of the major parties can secure a majority in the Assembly.
As far as the share of the vote is concern, C voter has predicted that BJP is still ahead with a 30% vote share whereas Congress will bag 23.6 per cent vote share and AAP will gain 24 per cent vote share.
If the polls turn out to be true, there will be two major implications in national politics. The AAP would have emerged as a still small but nevertheless a party with a national footprint. It is in power in Delhi, set to win Punjab and make a mark in Uttarakhand as a party that has arrived.
A decent performance even in Goa would do wonders to the image and stature of party leader Arvind Kejriwal. The reverse would be true of the Congress and Rahul Gandhi if it fails to retain Punjab and fail to win Uttarakhand and Goa.
The Goa assembly elections will take place in eight phases starting from February 14. Results will be declared on March 10.
