The season of political yatras has arrived in Goa with assembly elections due early next year. After a statewide tour by the Congress to rally voters, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has announced the ‘Mhargai Mukti Yatra’ in November-December. Mhargai in Konkani, the lingua franca of Goa, refers to price rise or inflation.
