2014 Indian general election in Goa
The 2014 Indian general election in Goa was part of the larger national elections held from April to May 2014 to elect members of the 16th Lok Sabha, the lower house of India's Parliament. Goa, a small state on the western coast of India, was allocated two parliamentary seats: North Goa and South Goa. The election was characterized by the rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which capitalized on a wave of support for Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. The BJP won both seats, with prominent candidates such as Shripad Naik and Vishwajit Pratapsingh Rane securing their constituencies. The elections reflected a shift in voter sentiment, influenced by issues of governance, development, and local concerns, setting the stage for the political landscape in Goa.
