1. Now, thread five on #GoaElections2022.
This time, we will discuss the BJP.

2. With a majority of its candidates ‘imported’ from other parties — one or ten at a time — can we ask the same about the Goa BJP?
BJP entered the 40-member Goa Assembly for the first time in 1994 —after two failed attempts— with 4 MLAs including Manohar Parrikar.

3. In 1999, BJP was part of the Goa Government for the first time when they supported an MLA leading a splinter group of Congress.
In less than a year, Manohar Parrikar would become the first BJP CM of Goa after another realignment of alliances.

2. Goa’s regional rival parties United Goans (UG) and Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) were formed around Goa’s first polls in 1963. Are the political faultlines of that time mirrored in the way the electorate votes for Congress or BJP today?
3. Despite being India’s smallest state by size, Goa hosts multiple ideologies. A colonial legacy, faith and identity politics often intersect to form complex geographical subdivisions.
