The Revolutionary Goans Party (abbr. RGP) is a regional party in the Indian state of Goa. First registered as a non-governmental organization when founded in March 2017, it received recognition as a political party from the Election Commission of India in 2022.[2] The party contested 38 seats in the 2022 Goa Legislative Assembly election, winning the St Andre constituency. The party's "anti-migrant" policies have been classified as similar to the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS).[6][7][8]
