BJP eyeing south Goa seat for Lok Sabha

PANAJI: Union minister for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) Narayan Rane on Saturday said that with 12 MLAs in South Goa and the BJP government in the state, the party is confident of winning the South Goa seat for the Lok Sabha election.

Rane also expressed confidence that that BJP will win both the Lok Sabha seats in Goa.

“BJP will 100% win the South Goa seat,” Rane said.

Till date, BJP has won the South Goa seat only on two occasions. Currently, the seat is represented by Congress MP Francisco Sardinha.

Rane said that MGP will support the BJP candidate in the Lok Sabha election.

When asked if BJP wants to increase its MLAs in South Goa, Rane said, “Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in every state, somethings happen automatically and we don’t have to make an effort. But it happens in the name of Modi. It takes time to happen in Goa, but when it happens, it happens effectively.”
