Panaji Assembly Constituency

The ruling BJP has managed to contain dissent in most areas in the run up to the Goa Assembly polls scheduled for February 14, but four seats, including the prestigious Panaji constituency, continue to be a cause for worry.

Utpal Parrikar, the son of former Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, has joined the race for his father's constituency Panaji as an independent candidate after the BJP denied him a ticket.

Voting is in progress for the bypoll to the Panaji assembly constituency since morning, which was necessitated due to the death of former Goa chief minister Manohar Parrikar in March.

The Goa Congress has complained to the Election Commission (EC) against state's Deputy Chief Minister Vijai Sardesai over his comments on "weaponising" the youth and demanded that he be charged with sedition.

Nearly 75 per cent voting was recorded in Wednesday's by-poll in Goa's two assembly constituencies, Panaji and Valpoi, with both the BJP and the Congress claiming victory in both seats.

Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar today unveiled an action plan for Panaji constituency while assuring to make the state capital a role model for other cities in the country. Mr Parrikar is contesting the Panaji Assembly by-election scheduled on August 23.

The Aam Aadmi Party today announced its first list of four candidates for the Goa Assembly elections scheduled for March 2017. The names include AAP's state convener Walmiki Naik who will contest from Panaji, a constituency that was earlier represented by current Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.

The ruling BJP today won the Panaji assembly constituency bypoll, retaining the seat that was held by Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar since 1994.
