An article in a Goa church-run magazine has compared the National Democratic Alliance government led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to Nazi Germany and called for the party's defeat in the bypoll next week.
The article, written by Panaji-based lawyer F E Noronha, appeared in “Renovacao”, a pastoral bulletin of the Archdiocese of Goa and Daman, and claims that a state of "constitutional holocaust" prevails in the country.
The article also urged Goa voters to vote against communal forces in order to halt the march of "nationwide fascism".
In January this year, the church in Goa also expressed its unhappiness with the ruling party’s push for digitalisation.
Roman Catholics account for around 26 per cent of the 1.5 million population of Goa, a former Portuguese colony. (ANI)

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
