As the polling for 70 Assembly seats in Goa begins, Union Home Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Amit Shah on Monday urged people to vote in large numbers for a “prosperous” coastal state. Shah also stated that only a stable, decisive and corruption-free government can ensure the development of Goa.
Taking to Twitter, the Home Minister wrote, “I urge our sisters and brothers of Goa, to vote in large numbers. Only a stable, decisive and corruption-free government can ensure the development of the state. So come out and vote for a prosperous Goa.”

Besides Goa, polling is also being held in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also urged people to vote in large numbers and strengthen the festival of democracy.
“Polling will be held across Uttarakhand, Goa and in parts of Uttar Pradesh. I call upon all those who are eligible to vote today to do so in record numbers and strengthen the festival of democracy,” the Prime Minister tweeted.
While Goa and Uttarakhand will see all of their 40 and 70 assembly seats respectively going to polls in a single phase, voting will be done at 55 assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh today.
