Political tensions in Goa are heating up, with Chief Minister Pramod Sawant criticizing the opposition for labeling the ruling BJP as 'Narkasur', a demonic figure from Hindu mythology.

This comment comes as speculation mounts about a potential alliance among the Congress, the Goa Forward Party (GFP), and the Revolutionary Goans Party (RGP) for the 2027 assembly elections.

The controversy unfolded after opposition leaders, including Yuri Alemao and Vijai Sardesai, gathered in South Goa, where calls were made for a united front against the BJP, emphasizing the need to 'slay Narakasurs' and safeguard Goa's future.
