PANAJI: Former Goa Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar has rejoined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), marking his return to the party ahead of the 2027 Goa Assembly elections.
Parsekar arrived at the BJP headquarters and formally announced his return, stating that he had never joined any other political party after leaving the BJP in 2022.
Speaking about his return, Parsekar said that a misunderstanding had led to his decision to part ways with the party in 2022. He added that his karyakartas had stood by him throughout the period, but neither he nor his supporters had joined any other political party.
Parsekar said he now feels relaxed as he returns to the BJP along with his karyakartas, adding that they are ready to work for the party and follow whatever directions are given to them.
He also expressed his willingness to accept any responsibility assigned to him by the party.
Earlier, BJP Goa President Damu Naik had said that anyone was welcome to join the BJP when asked about the possibility of Parsekar’s return.
Parsekar’s re-entry comes as the BJP begins preparations for the 2027 Goa Assembly elections, with his return marking the end of his political separation from the party.
