In view of the assembly elections to be held in Goa next year, the Congress has geared up. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will start the assembly election campaign in Goa from October 30. According to news agency ANI, after the election campaign, former Congress national president Rahul Gandhi will also meet people affected by the ban imposed on fishermen and mining.
Let us inform you that in the year 2018, the Supreme Court of India had banned iron ore mining after cancelling the renewal of 88 mining leases of Goa. However, the mining industry is a means of livelihood for a large population of the state. At the same time, Goa's ruling party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has also started making strategies for the elections to be held next year.
Regarding this, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said that during the election campaign, we will keep in front of the public issues like Swayampurna Goa Yojana, management regarding Corona and the economy of the state. There is a lot of discussion in the political corridors that the Goa Assembly elections are very important for the Congress party because the party has already lost its power in many states and here too, despite getting the maximum number of seats in the last elections, it failed to form the government. And the BJP formed the government by forming an alliance with smaller parties.
Let us tell you that in the 2017 Goa assembly elections, Congress got the maximum number of 17 seats. Whereas, BJP managed to win 13 seats. However, the BJP formed the government in alliance with regional parties.
