Photo : PTIPanaji: Ahead of the counting of votes on March 10, Congress has moved all its candidates to a luxury resort in Bambolim village near Panaji amid defection fears as the exit polls have predicted a hung assembly in Goa.’All the candidates checked in the resort on Tuesday evening with their luggage, indicating that the government formation may be a long haul.Given that the political stakes are very high, Congress is taking all precautions to avoid the repeat of the 2017 fiasco when it had failed to form a government in Goa despite scoring the maximum number of seats.Goa BJP president Sadanand S Tanavade earlier today slammed Congress saying that the grand old party is resorting to resort politics as it doesn’t trust its candidates.”Congress doesn’t trust its candidates & thus, took them to temple, mosque, and church to take an oath of not joining any other party. All their candidates have been kept at a location now, there’s no trust. BJP will come with a clear majority,” Tanavade said.In the 2017 Goa Assembly elections, Congress had emerged as the single largest party, winning 17 seats as against the BJP’s 13. However, the grand old party failed to swing into action and get allies to muster the simple majority figure of 21.Steered by late Manohar Parrikar, who was the defence minister then, the saffron party had outmaneuvered Congress by cobbling together a ruling coalition with parties like the MGP and the Vijai Sardesai-led Goa Forward Party (GFP) and two independent MLAs.
