Jayant Bhale (71) has seen almost every election that has been held in independent Goa. As the proprietor of the VP Pai Bhale and Bros – a stationary shop in Panjim – he is known to many in the area. Though he has voted in all the elections in the past, this time he is not sure whether he can motivate himself to reach the election booth on February 14, the day Goans will vote in the 2022 Assembly polls.
