Among the big losers in the Congress party were former vice president of BCCI, Dayanand Narvekar, power minister, Aleixo Sequeira and Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president, Subhash Shirodkar. Among the big winners are Mickey Pacheco of the Goa Vikas Party (GVP) who defeated Sequeira in Nuvem constituency.
