PANAJI: Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant on Friday expressed strong confidence that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will retain power in Goa after the 2027 Assembly elections and also return to power at the Centre in the 2029 Lok Sabha polls. He said the party’s prospects remain strong under the leadership of BJP National President Nitin Nabin.
Nabin arrived in Goa earlier in the day on his first official two-day visit to the state after taking charge as the party’s national president. He was received at Manohar International Airport in Mopa, North Goa, by Chief Minister Sawant, BJP Goa President Damodar Naik, and senior party functionaries.
Following his arrival, the BJP chief proceeded to the party’s state headquarters in Panaji. Later in the afternoon, he is scheduled to chair a meeting of the BJP’s core committee to review organisational matters and political strategy.
As part of his itinerary, Nabin will also visit the Mahalsa Narayani Temple at Verna in South Goa. In the latter half of the day, he will interact with party leaders from the South Goa district at a meeting in Margao.
The BJP national president is also slated to hold discussions with state office bearers, presidents of party morchas, mandal in-charges, and mandal general secretaries in Panaji. These meetings are expected to focus on strengthening the party’s organisational structure ahead of upcoming elections.
In the evening, Nabin will meet leaders of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Goa, including representatives of the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party and Independent MLAs who are extending support to the Sawant-led government.
