PANAJI: BJP today has fielded Shankar Anant Chodankar and Sanjana Velip for Chairperson’s post for North and South Goa ZP.
“BJP has fielded Shankar Anant Chodankar & Sanjana Velip for Chairperson’s post for North & South Goa ZP respectively,” said BJP President Sadanand Tanavade.
Both the posts had fallen vacant after the resignation of North Goa ZP adhyaksh Siddesh Naik and South Goa ZP adhayksh Suvarna Prabhu Tendulkar. Both BJP-backed ZP members submitted their resignations earlier this month as per directions from the party.
Prabhu Tendulkar resigned on August 1 while, Naik followed suit the next day. Their resignations were accepted by the Director of Panchayats Siddhi Halarnakar.
Prabhu Tendulkar, elected from the Sanvordem ZP constituency was elected ZP adhyaksh soon after the ZP elections in December 2020.
On the other hand, Corlim ZP member Naik was elected North Goa ZP adhayksh in May 2022 after Socorro ZP member Kartik Kudnekar was asked to quit to pave the way for Naik, son of Union Minister of State for Power Shripad Naik, to take over.
