The exit polls for the Goa assembly will be out on March 7. In 2017, voting for the Goa assembly elections was held on February 4 and the results were declared on March 11. Then, Congress had won 17 seats while the BJP had bagged 13 seats. However, the BJP had managed to form a government by allying with regional parties and later 10 Congress MLA had joined the BJP in 2019.
