Goemkapronn desk VASCO: The Congress retained its South Goa seat but for the people in Mormugao, history was created as their son of the soil, Captain Viriato Fernandes, became the first MP of South Goa to be elected from the taluka. On the other hand, the BJP may have secured a lead in Mormugao taluka but the party will be disappointed over the loss of a sizeable vote share in comparison to its performance in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. The BJP had always been leading in Mormugao taluka in recent times, but the results were different this time with…

Around 3 pm, the INDIA bloc — comprising Samajwadi Party and the Congress in the state — holds a strong lead…

At 12.50 pm the Trinamool – rebounding strongly after conceding early leads to its rival – was leading in 32 seats. The BJP was ahead in 10. Note, though, that these are still early figures. Among the heavyweights, the Congress’ Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury was leading in Bahrampur. Senior Trinamool leader Abhishek Banerjee, who…
