Election issues in 2022:
During her visit to Goa, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra assured Rs 6,000 every month to weaker sections and hostels for working women in Margoa and Panaji. The Grand Old Party also highlighted the alleged corruption in job scams.
Meanwhile, BJP, in its manifesto, announced three free LPG cylinders, no increase on duties on petrol and diesel for the next three years, subsidies to convert taxis and minibuses into electric vehicles, and assured to restart mining in the coastal area if voted to power. All the parties promised the development of Goa in their style and tried to appeal to the voters.
