@Dev_Fadnavis This man seems very much seasoned in electoral politics and agenda setting. The way he handled the Goa election seems magical. 10+ years of anti incumbency was countered with very positive attitude. Very interesting times ahead!! 
1. His stint as political master strategist started in 2017. Fighting all municipal corp(BMC) elections alone when in minority govt was a big gamble he played very proactively but like a seasoned politician. It was no cake walk . From 28 to 82 he marched towards 2019 MH assembly.
2. Then the central leadership and DF made a mistake to fight 2019 assembly elections in alliance with SS. But still he managed a 70% strike rate which in extra ordinary(105 out of 164 fought).
3. Due to Cowid no major election were fought in MH till now.

1. Now, thread five on #GoaElections2022.
This time, we will discuss the BJP.
The famous ‘Ship of Theseus’ thought experiment imagines a ship whose parts have all been replaced over the years, one at a time. Does it then remain
the same ship?

2. With a majority of its candidates ‘imported’ from other parties — one or ten at a time — can we ask the same about the Goa BJP?
BJP entered the 40-member Goa Assembly for the first time in 1994 —after two failed attempts— with 4 MLAs including Manohar Parrikar.

3. In 1999, BJP was part of the Goa Government for the first time when they supported an MLA leading a splinter group of Congress.
In less than a year, Manohar Parrikar would become the first BJP CM of Goa after another realignment of alliances.

2. Goa’s regional rival parties United Goans (UG) and Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) were formed around Goa’s first polls in 1963. Are the political faultlines of that time mirrored in the way the electorate votes for Congress or BJP today?
3. Despite being India’s smallest state by size, Goa hosts multiple ideologies. A colonial legacy, faith and identity politics often intersect to form complex geographical subdivisions.
1.Two threads down, let’s now talk of Goa’s youngest regional party, #RevolutionaryGoans (RG), a group that has effectively funnelled the anxieties of the youth — in a state with dwindling job opportunities — to create an “enemy" out of the outsider.
2.While it’s too early to gauge the journey RG and its 40 candidates will take post #GoaElections2022, the damage its nativism poll plank can do to the vote-share of competing parties cannot be ignored.
Let’s look at the political vacuum in which RG’s journeys began.

3. In March 2017, days after Goa had voted, seven young men took to scrubbing the walls of Panjim municipal market to erase tobacco stains off a Mario Miranda-inspired mural. They identified themselves as "Revolutionary Goans”, scrubbing to “safeguard Goan culture”.
1. A news thread on #GoaElections2022 based on my interviews and reporting.
Now that we have talked about the political parties in the House — let’s look at the the challengers: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Trinamool Congress (TMC).

2. Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have been projecting themselves as the challengers to the old political guard — fighting to grab the Goan voter’s attention with mammoth banners across the Goan landscape.
3. What are their strategies, what does their choice of leaders say —- and who are they going after — Congress or BJP? Seats or vote share?
