Voting to be held next year

Assembly elections for the 40-member Goa assembly are to be held in February-March next year. Soon the Election Commission will announce the dates for the elections to be held in five states. Since then, the parties are planning to get involved in election preparations with full vigor.
If we talk about the 2017 assembly elections in the state, the Congress had won 17 seats in the 40-member house. Whereas the country’s largest party BJP got 13 seats. With this, NCP had won one seat. Independents won three seats, while regional parties GFP and Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party won three seats each.,
Congress got 17 seats
The special thing is that even after getting 17 seats, the Congress could not form the government in the state. Whereas BJP formed its government in Goa in alliance with regional parties GFP and MGP. This was the second time that the BJP formed the government in Goa under the leadership of Manohar Parrikar.
