Ramkrishna Alias Sudin Dhavalikar of Maharashtrawadi Gomantak on Saturday won the Marcaim assembly constituency in Goa.
He got 1,7093 votes while his rival and BJP candidate Pradeep Pundalik Shet got 3,413 votes.
The main candidates from Marcaim were Ramkrishna Alias Sudin Dhavalikar of Maharashtrawadi Gomantak, Surel Datta Tilve (AAP), Pradeep Pundalik Shet (BJP) and Urmila Alias Vindiksha Vinod Naik (Congress).
In 2012, voters in the costal state had voted the BJP to power with 21 seats, the majority mark in the 40-seat Assembly. The Congress had won nine seats, while Independents had won five. Two seats were won by others.
This time, the Aam Aadmi Party made its electoral debut in the state, but Exit Polls predicted the party will end up with a single tally count. Most predicted the BJP would emerge as the single-largest party. The saffron party, however, had not projected incumbent Laxmikant Parsekar as the chief ministerial face and instead hinted at Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar's return to state politics.
