Goa ZP Election Result 2025: Congress Blames Vote Division
Goa’s Zilla Panchayat results were really not a surprise for Congress MLA Carlos Alvares Ferreira. To him, the BJP’s winning of several seats wasn’t necessarily due to their having the support of the large majority of voters, it was the classic division of the opposition. He contended that split rival votes resulted in very limited victories, which he says is the case in almost every election.
Certainly, a few seats were won by a wide margin, but in most other cases, the figures tell the same story: when the opposition parties contest individually, the ruling party mostly stealthily slips in. As the voters and political analysts are keeping a close eye on the situation, the question still hangs.
