Other regional parties include the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak, Goa Vikas Party, United Goans Democratic Party and Go Su-raj Party. Issues The issue of the cultural identity of Goa has also come to the fore in the past few years. The population of Goa has rapidly swelled due to increasing migration levels from neighboring Karnataka and Maharashtra, as well as from further afield such as Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.http://www.merinews.com/article/goan-identity-erodes-with-onslaught-of-migrants/135616.shtml Goan identity erodes with onslaught of migrants Merinews.com 2008-06-12 2021-06-17 Corruption Following the 2011 Indian anti-corruption movement several allegations of corruption have been made on the incumbent government going to elections this year. Nepotism was also an issue. Former CM and current head of the Goa TMC Wilfred de Souza accused the INC of perpetrating a "Family Raj" in its allotment of tickets for the election to relatives of INC leaders from such families as the Naiks, Alemaos, Ranes, and Monserrates. He also cited the denial of an electoral ticket to his son-in-law Tulio D’Souza in Saligao Assembly constituency despite the INC also denying him a ticket. He also criticized the inability of incumbent CM Digambar Kamat to have stopped illegal mining while he was the minister of mining and finance minister in the previous government. He cited a report by a commission led by Justice M. B. Shah to investigate illegal mining in the country that suggested potential revenue of US$423 million was lost through illegal ore exports after he said he had seen a "leaked" version of the report.Congress promoting Family Raj: Willy http://www.navhindtimes.in/goa-news/congress-promoting-family-raj-willy dead 2012-02-16 https://web.archive.org/web/20120218193213/http://www.navhindtimes.in/goa-news/congress-promoting-family-raj-willy 2012-02-18 Parties and alliances colspan="6" United Progressive Alliance United Progressive Alliance Party Flag Symbol Leader Seats Indian National Congress 50px 50px Digambar Kamat 33 Nationalist Congress Party 50px 50px Sharad Pawar 7 Total40 colspan="6" National Democratic Alliance National Democratic Alliance Party Flag Symbol Leader Seats Bharatiya Janata Party 50px 50px Manohar Parrikar 28 Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party 50px Sudin Dhavalikar 7 Independent (politician) 4 Total39 List of candidates ConstituencyNDAUPA1MandremBharatiya Janata PartyLaxmikant ParsekarIndian National CongressDayanand Raghunath Sopte2PernemBharatiya Janata PartyRajendra ArlekarIndian National CongressManohar Trimbak Ajgaoankar3BicholimBharatiya Janata PartyManohar Pandurang ShirodkarIndian National CongressRajesh T.
