The election pitch is becoming shriller. Hectic politicking is happening both behind the scenes as well as in the open.



The latest confirmed news is that former BJP minister Mahdev Naik will join Congress on Sunday. The parde ke peeche news confirmed by reliable sources say that in case MGP's Deepak Dhavalikar stands in Shiroda against BJP candidate than two MGP MLAs are likely to join the BJP. Here's more.



The Congress and the BJP have been playing tug of war with each others MLA and leaders.


Given that the BJP has to face 4 by elections, and added to the fact that the chief minister health is not what it should be, there is a lot of speculation about 2 MGP MLAs and 2 Congress MLAs shifting sides and one BJP MLA floating a new party debuting with the Mapusa by election.


There has been speculation about some more realignment among party MLAs. Names of MLAs Babu Azgaokar and Dipak Pauskar have been doing the rounds.


Babu spoke to Goa 365 and said that Sudin Dhavalikar was their leader and he would decide. Watch
