Two days before the state election results, the race for power in Goa is off to a flying start with big BJP meetings today after exit polls predicted no clear winner in the state.

New Delhi, 08 March 2022

As per news report of NDTV, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant is in Delhi to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and brief him about the party's prospects of retaining power in Goa. Mr Sawant will later fly to Mumbai for a meeting with the BJP's Goa in-charge, Devendra Fadnavis. The BJP is believed to have opened talks with the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) and independents. Sources say the MGP is not inclined to back Pramod Sawant, who had dropped the party from the Goa cabinet after taking over as Chief Minister following Manohar Parrikar's death in 2019. Sources say the MGP and other parties have hinted that their support will come for a price - the Chief Minister's post. The BJP may face the question of sacrificing Mr Sawant for the sake of numbers.
