It’s political high drama again in Goa, as two Goa Congress lawmakers resigned from party after a meeting with the Bharatiya Janata party chief Amit Shah in New Delhi on Tuesday, delivering a setback to the Congress that had been trying to embarrass the Manohar Parrikar-led coalition government. The switch is a huge blow to the Congress’ pitch that it should be invited to form the government because it was, with 16 lawmakers, the single largest party in the 40-member assembly. Tuesday’s exit depletes its strength to 14 MLAs, on par with the BJP.
