Assembly election: It is natural for BJP and MGP to come together to form next govt in Goa, Fadnavis says

As most exit polls have predicted that neither BJP nor Congress would get a clear majority in Uttarakhand, top central leaders of the two parties have started arriving in the hill state to “manage” the situation arising after the counting of votes on March 10. Sources in the two parties told TOI the “seniors are there to take swift decisions, including on post-poll tie-ups”.

With none of the exit polls predicting a clear mandate for any party in Goa, political activity picked up in the coastal state on Tuesday with Congress corralling all the 37 candidates at a resort — while simultaneously reaching out to smaller parties like MGP, TMC, NCP and AAP — to avoid a re-run of the 2017 results when it was prevented from forming the government by BJP despite emerging as the single largest party with 17 seats in the 40-member assembly.
