What made ‘Goemkarponn’ so Manoeuvrable?
By ALBERTINA ALMEIDA
From the get go, there was no sign of Goem, Goemkar, Goemkarponn at all. Not even when the 2017 Goa Legislative Assembly election results were beginning to trickle in. One would have thought that small is beautiful and manageable and that the smallness of Goem affords a unique opportunity to better and more expeditiously manage. But despite EVM machines as in other states, which should have seen the results pouring in rather than trickling in, Goa’s results took a longer time than those of UP with ten times the number of seats. Indeed Goa’s counting in relation to that of the rest of India’s states that went to the polls was ajeeb (strange).
