The Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) on Friday, 12 April, decided to withdraw its support to Goa’s BJP-led coalition government, reported The Hindu.

This move comes after the regional partner found itself having just a single member in the State’s Assembly after BJP poached two of its three MLAs.

Party President Dipak Dhavalikar told The Hindu that the party had decided to support Congress candidates in both the State’s Lok Sabha seats and to back the Congress’ Sudhir Kandolkar in the Mapusa by-election.
