Fact File
The tiny Goa state -- which sends two representatives to the Lok Sabha -- is for the first time facing a general election with no regional parties in the contest.The Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party, which ruled the state for 17 years, has been wiped out in the new political realignments. While the United Goans' Democratic Party, which has contested Lok Sabha polls since 1996, was absorbed into the Congress after the June Assembly elections. So this time it's a race between the Congress and BJP. Copyright © 1999 Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd.
