As Goa prepares for Lok Sabha elections, political dynamics are shifting. The ruling BJP and Congress remain key players, with the saffron party looking to extend its dominance. The upcoming polls will see fierce competition between BJP incumbent Shripad Naik and Congress veteran Ramakant Khalap in North Goa, while South Goa, traditionally a Congress stronghold, will pit newcomer Pallavi Dempo of the BJP against former Naval officer Viriato Fernandes of the Congress. The Revolutionary Goans party emerges as a third challenger, adding to the political intrigue. Environmental protection, resumption of mining, and recent controversies have fueled election discourse.
