Both AAP and TMC have entered the political fray in the coastal state, which was so far dominated by the BJP, Congress and some regional outfits like the GFP and MGP.

In the run up to Assembly polls scheduled for early next year, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant accused Aam Aadmi Party and Trinamool Congress of spreading “banner pollution” in state. CM Sawant said he had asked authorities to take strict action against these parties for such banners that have been defacing properties and public areas in the tourism-heavy state.

“One of the key differences Goa is witnessing in this election is the Banner Pollution started by @ArvindKejriwal and @MamataOfficial’s political parties. Pasting stickers on Public and Private property is blatant disregard for authorities as well as Goa’s beauty,” Sawant tweeted.

Some of them are already facing complaints for defacement of public property. I have asked the authorities to deal with such menace strictly. I am confident that Goans will reject such forces in the upcoming elections. 2/2
