Dry Day in Goa on Valentine's Day, February 14, on Account of Voting For Assembly Elections 2022 in State! Netizens Take to Twitter to Express Shock and Surprise

Panaji, January 8: The Election Commission on Saturday announced the schedule for elections in five states, including the state of Goa. No sooner had CEC Sushil Chandra announced that Goa would go to polls for assembly elections on Valentine's Day on 14th February 2022, than Twitter users took to the micro-blogging site to express their shock and surprise over the fact that it would be a dry day in Goa on 14th February on account of polling this year. From wishing "one minute silence for couples" to wondering why did EC choose the day of love as the date for polling, netizens tweeted in large numbers on the issue.

Oh you cruel people in the @ECISVEEP : you cruel, cruel people. This is worse than what Brutus did to Caesar! You have now ensured a dry day on Valentine’s Day in Goa. Many many Goans would be rightly upset not to mention the damage to the hospitality industry!

My sympathies with young politicians of Goa, Uttarakhand, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. Don't make Valentine's Day plans. #AssemblyElections2022
