Goa Election

The Enforcement Directorate presented its case before Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court, alleging Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's involvement in an excise scam. The agency sought a 10-day remand for the Aam Aadmi Party chief, contending that Kejriwal orchestrated a policy tailored for bribery, favouring the 'South group' and managing proceeds of crime.

The Shiv Sena, which fielded 10 candidates in the Goa elections, spent nearly Rs 92 lakh towards poll expenditure. Eyeing expansion, the TMC had launched an election blitzkrieg in Goa with poll strategist Prashant Kishor playing a key role in trying to get the party a toehold in the state.

Sawant told reporters after reacting to the resignation, "The process of forming a new government has begun. On Monday, the House would be dissolved. The Central Observer will arrive in Goa to determine the date of the new government's oath ceremony."

Sawant, by virtue of leading the party to victory in Goa, has established his credentials among the top brass of the party, says senior journalist K R Sreenivas 

In a bid for Opposition unity ahead of the 2024 general elections, Trinamool Congress leader said that all anti-BJP parties might campaign together if Congress so desires.

 BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis said that BJP is not against any party. They are against corruption and bribery. 

The worst damage to Congress was caused by TMC, AAP and Revolutionary Goans. Senior journalist K R Sreenivas examines.

Prime Minister Modi is in Gujarat for a two-day visit and did a roadshow from the Ahmedabad airport to the Gujarat BJP headquarters. At roughly 4 pm, the Prime Minister will also speak at the Gujarat Panchayat Mahasammelan.
 

While Pramod Sawant barely managed to win the Sanquelim seat, a few MLAs in the BJP are unhappy even in victory, says senior journalist K R Sreenivas.

The ruling BJP has emerged as a clear winner and is certain to retain its power in the coastal state.

Celebrations kicked off at the BJP office in Goa as Assembly polls counting indicated that party is inching closer to the half-way mark.

Goa BJP President Sadanand Tanavade spoke exclusively to Asianet News and said the saffron party will form government in the coastal state after bagging support of independent candidates.

AAP's national convener Arvind Kejriwal congratulated his party's candidates, Venzy Viegas and Cruz Silva, as they won in their respective constituencies.

Counting of votes in the Goa Election 2022 is underway, and with the latest trends suggesting the BJP is closing in on the halfway mark, leaders of the saffron party have expressed confidence over returning to power.

"Authorised polling agents of the political parties are allowed to come inside the counting centre. There is no question of EVM tampering," said CEC Sushil Chandra.
