Goa Assembly Election Results: Goa was predicted by most pollsters to be heading for a hung assembly

Panaji:

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

Early trends of the counting of votes showed the party leading on 19 Assembly seats. Meanwhile, Congress was ahead on 11 constituencies.

The ruling BJP is seeking a third straight term in power in the coastal state, while the opposition Congress may not get the numbers to avoid a repeat of the 2017 fiasco when it failed to form government despite emerging as the single largest party.

Goa was predicted by most pollsters to be heading for a hung assembly.

Along with Goa, votes are being counted in four other states - Punjab, UP, Manipur and Uttarakhand.
