Mormugao politics in overdrive over Formula 4
The Free Press Journal - Mumbai
|October 16, 2025
Race cancellation ignites feud between MLA and ex-MLA loyalists
The revving of Formula 4 engines may have gone silent in Mormugao, but the political noise it left behind still echoes across the coastal constituency.
What was supposed to be a high-octane international event at Bogda-Sada has instead turned into a high-voltage political spectacle, exposing deep cracks within the BJP’s local unit.
The Formula 4 street race — once touted as Goa’s grand leap into global motorsport — hit the brakes after protests erupted in Bogda and Sada. Locals, backed by councillors and former MLA Milind Naik, opposed the venue, claiming it would disrupt daily life and damage local infrastructure.
The opposition crescended into late-night meetings, slogan-shouting, and eventually, a walkout at the Mormugao Municipal Council's special session.
