The Goa Vikas Party (GVP) is a regional political party from Goa, India, was led by Francisco Pacheco. [2] The GVP was founded by late Sitaram Bandodkar, [3] and the current president is Francisco Pacheco's partner Viola Pacheco. [4] [5] It was revived by Pacheco, who left the Nationalist Congress Party and joined the GVP ahead of the 2012 Goa Legislative Assembly election. [6] It is a part of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). [7] It is a part of the ruling coalition in Goa, the other members being the BJP and Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party. [2] The GVP has two members in the Goa Legislative Assembly: Pacheco from Nuvem but he resigned [8] and Caetano Silva from Benaulim. [9]

Three daughters of Party founder Sitaram Bandodkar lodged a complaint in the Election Commission of India during the takeover of the party by Pacheco, alleging that they were not consulted during the revivification. [6] The GVP contested on nine seats and got 3.5 percent of the total votes in the 2012 Goa elections. [10] In November 2014, Pacheco was inducted as a minister in the state cabinet; the step was seen as a "thank you" to the GVP for its support to the BJP in the 2014 Indian general election. [2] However, Pacheco resigned from the post in April 2015 after getting convicted by the Supreme Court of India for assaulting a government official. [11] [12] Caetano Silva raised his claim for the vacant ministerial berth, [13] and later termed the GVP as a "one-man political organisation", saying that he feels like an "independent member of the GVP".
