BJP gained momentum and later formed government in Goa. Until 2016 MGP was one of BJPs ally. The alliance broke and MGP won a mere 3 seats. None of the party crossed majority mark. Later on GFP and MGP declared their support to BJP on the condition that Manoharji bcums the CM

Both allies were inducted in MPjis cabinet. All was going fine until one day when MPjis health deteriorated. While GFP affirmed their support to BJP, MGP on the other hand started hinting withdrawl of support if not given the CM post or creamiest of the portfolios.

Meanwhile INC started playing the dirty game of politics hinting govt formation. Anticipating MP will die anytime now, the seat will fall vacant and both allies will withdraw support. The alliance was at deadlock bcz of MGP stubbornness. Then came into picture Nitin Gadkari.

With http://Dy.CM"> http://Dy.CM post to each ally leaders and one cabinet each the problem was solved. MGP was still upset and hinting to jump ships. What happened next we all know 2 out of its 3 MLAs defected thereby avoiding anti-defection law. The legislative grp was merged.

MGP is now left with a lone MLA cum party chief Sudin Dhavalikar. A party that once ruled the UT/State for 4 terms is no longer relevant in the Goan politics. GPF that is no longer an ally of NDA still survives bcz it dint try to exploit unlike MGP.

If you closely study the current situation in Maharashtra the script as well as the characters who& #39;ve intervened/mediated are almost similar. So is it going the Kumarswamy way Or the MaGoPa way will be interesting to watch?
