BJP candidate Atanasio 'Babush' Monserrate has secured the prestigious Panaji seat by defeating former chief minister Manohar Parrikar's son and independent candidate Utpal Parrikar by a margin of 700 votes.

The ruling BJP in Goa looks all set to score a hattrick in the coastal state with the support of the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP), political observers said, as vote counting trends of the February 14 elections indicated a hung House.

As of this time, BJP is leading in 19 constituencies, Congress in 11, MGP in 3, AAP in 2, GFP in 1 and Revolutionary Goans in 1.

With one round left to go, chief minister and BJP Candidate Pramod Sawant leading with a margin of 350 votes in Sanquelim.
