Goa Election Results 2017: Goa gives a fractured verdict
Catch all the live updates from Goa right here
The results here will decide the fate of Arvind Kejriwal's party's status as a 'national party'. After defying all odds, Kejriwal's AAP swept the Delhi assembly elections in 2015, and now they are eyeing to repeat the same magic in Goa and Punjab - this is where it is to be decided if the AAP indeed is a national party.

The BJP is already in power in the state, but the Congress may just yet take back power - but with the entry of a third player - the AAP - the situation is a little more complicated now. Can AAP be the kingmaker in the state?
Curtains will be drawn on the three-cornered contest as Goa election results will be announced on Saturday. With 40 assembly constituencies, fight for Goa becomes interesting since each seat is a deal-maker or deal-breaker. The incumbent BJP had, in 2012, managed to get just enough seats of 21 to form the government in Goa limiting the Congress to a mere 9 seats. This time around, the entry of AAP was believed to have changed the dynamics of electoral politics in Goa.
Most exit polls have predicted a hung assembly in Goa. Many have projected BJP to emerge as the single largest party but with not enough seats to form the government. The Congress is projected to have eaten into the BJP's vote banks and the AAP is predicted to get around 3 seats. The BJP has already made it clear that it will support the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak party and it is to be seen if the MAG manages to give BJP the support it would need if the exit poll results turn out to be a reality.
