Pramod Sawant to remain BJP’s CM face in Goa poll: JP Nadda

New Delhi, July 25

Ahead of the 2022 Assembly poll, BJP chief JP Nadda today said the party would be “going forward” with incumbent CM Pramod Sawant as its face.

In Goa for a two-day visit to kick start the party’s strategy for the upcoming poll to the 40-member Assembly, Nadda said Sawant had “done a very good job. Under his leadership, all-round development has taken place. We are going forward with him (as CM face in 2022 elections). In the BJP, parliamentary board makes the official declaration, but there is no need to think about any other name”.

Accompanied by Sawant, state party chief Sadanand Shet Tanavade and other leaders, Nadda also exuded confidence about his party’s prospects in the next elections.

This will be the first time that the BJP will go to polls in the state without Manohar Parrikar, the late Goa CM who managed to give a certain edge to the saffron party with his popularity and charisma. — TNS
