Congress no longer largest party in Goa as 2 MLAs join BJP
With Goa Congress MLAs Dayanand Sopte and Subhash Shirodkar resigning from the party to join BJP on Tuesday, Congress is no longer the largest party in the state. Congress, which won 17 seats in the 40-member assembly, is now left with 14 lawmakers, on par with BJP. In 2017, BJP allied with GFP and MGP to form the state government.
