PANAJI: The Goa unit of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday revoked the appointment of its spokespersons in the state with immediate effect, and the names of new appointees will be announced in the next couple of days, the party’s senior functionary said.
At present, the party has at least six spokespersons in the state.
Goa BJP chief Sadanand Tanavade said the appointment of all spokespersons of the party in the state has been withdrawn with immediate effect. The party’s central leadership had asked for reconstitution of the panel of spokespersons, he said.
”We will be announcing a new panel of spokespersons in the next two to three days,” Tanavade added. The decision to withdraw names comes three days after state BJP spokesman Giriraj Vernekar questioned another party spokesperson, Savio Rodrigues, over his comment on the refusal of permission to Goa Forward Party (GFP) chief Vijai Sardesai to host the Carnival parade. Tanavade, however, said the decision to withdraw the panel of spokesperson has nothing to do with it.
On February 15, Rodrigues tweeted, ”No politics at Carnival Time, and I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you and @VijaiSardesai because that is what friends do and what Goa is about – friendship and togetherness at all festivals and carnivals.”
