Now that Punjab is done and dusted, focus your attention on Goa.

The Manohar Parrikar-led BJP government is set to face a floor test in the Assembly in a short while from now. Parrikar, who was sworn in on Tuesday, stepped down as the Defence Minister to head back to his home state, is confident of a comfortable win in the crucial test.


Parrikar has claimed support of 22 MLAs, two more than the halfway mark of 20 in the 40-member Assembly. The Congress, which emerged as the single largest party in state winning 17 seats has accused the BJP, which won 13 seats, of using money power to garner support from other smaller parties and independent MLAs.


Ahead of the floor test, Congress party's Vishwajeet Rane  said as of now he is going to vote for the Congress though he is disillusioned with the party.

Parrikar, who reached the state Assembly this morning, said he is confident of winning the floor test.

Congress' Goa in-charge  Digvijaya Singh said his party will topple the BJP-led government.
