Considering Goa is in the toilet politically, the election manifestos are  at 
best useful as toilet paper. The election manifesto which Goans should look for 
is a - 

   Corruption free state
   Communal free state
   Casteist free state
   Mininal government intervention in Goan lives, 
    (especially promising goodies from the public exchequer)
   Law and order
   Separation of religion from government
   Phased out mining
   Responsible, sustainable development tourism
   No land conversions for ANY "development"
   No mega-projects
   No MOPA
   A Civilian controlled Dabolim
   Controlled migrant population 
   (Goa cannot afford uncontrolled migration which is primarily
    to conduct illegal activities in Goa (mining, mega-projects).
   
The list above is not comprehensive but could start to lift the state from the 
political sewer it finds itself in.
