to 3.28 pm.
For those who believe in favorable timings, not too much to choose between January 21, when the nomination process begins, and January 28, when it ends.
The following period Sankranti Makar marked the entry into the Hindu Moon ‘Paush’, which was believed to be “not the best time” for a new beginning by many people in Goa.
But in a gloomy period, January 23 and 26 are lucky days.
However, January 23, Sundays, and January 26, Republic Day, is a national holiday, when candidates cannot submit their nominations.
January 21 is one of the ‘good days’, being a SanKast Chaturthi, but it became the first day of the nomination, many were missing when the party was still in the process of declaring a ticket.
“Candidates take into account the favorable time to submit their letters on the date given,” said Marcoim MLA and former Minister of PWD Ramkrishna ‘Sudin’ Dhavalikar.
“We have written to Chief Electoral Officers that attract attention to the fact that 23 and 26 January is a national holiday, which reduces the days available to file nominations.
In fact, they should provide more days this year to avoid crowding while submitting a nomination Given the Covid situation.
“But Aldona Mla Glen Ticlo said he was generally looking for” a good day “to file his nomination.
“I submitted my nomination after taking a blessing in the church.
I don’t believe at the right time, but I’m looking for a good day,” he said.
However, the Chief Electoral Officer for Goa, Kunal, but has clarified that the nomination schedule was completed after considering that even though national holidays, candidates still have more than five full days to submit their nomination papers.
While election officers looked into the regulatory book, the priests examined Panchang to find answers to candidate questions.
“I have told the candidates who contact me that January 27 is mostly a good day,” said Krishna Bhat, a priest based in Porvorim.
“Actually, the month of ‘Paush’ is considered not the right time just to inaugurate someone’s house and to finish the marriage.
However, in Goa, his belief exceeds this, and is known as ‘Soon Mahino’, or a month where someone must stay.
But There are good days for nominations available in a certain period.
“While the big party has now announced their candidates for most seats, not many queued to file their nominations.
It tends to change on January 27, and it’s not just because it’s the second day of the back.
