The relevance of regional parties in Lok Sabha elections

Revolutionary Goans’ founder-president and North Goa candidate Manoj Parab reckons they have a very important role to play in national politics. “There’s always a question mark on the regional parties whether they are going to make a mark in the Lok Sabha elections, but there are several parties that are part of the NDA and the INDIA bloc. Without regional parties, there is no government. Goa needs a voice in Parliament, because for the past several years Congress and BJP have not been raising Goa’s issues. National parties will think about their benefit at the national level and will always compromise on the state issues,” Parab told TOI. Watch the video to hear what Manoj Parab has to say.
