Losing Goa
For decades, Goa occupied a singular place in the global imagination. It was not merely a beach destination, but a cultural mood ~ inexpensive, unhurried, and faintly detached from the commercial anxieties of modern tourism.
Goa Deputy Chief Minister Francis D'Souza on Saturday retained the Mapusa assembly seat in North Goa, defeating his nearest Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party rival Vinod Phadke by 6,828 votes.
This is the sixth consecutive time that D'Souza has won the Mapusa assembly seat and he is the seniormost elected BJP legislator in the state.
