Siddesh dithers over support to Janita

PANAJI

Despite the 'all is well' picture portrayed by the BJP on Friday by parading 'would be rebel' Siddesh Naik at a press conference and announcing his 'promotion' as a party secretary, Naik continued to be coy in his response to questions from the media over his role in the Cumbarjua constituency.

"The party has given me the responsibility of Vasco. I will work in Vasco henceforth. She (Janita Madkaikar) is the official candidate of the BJP. Party workers will work. I will be in Vasco," Naik said when asked if he would support the BJP's official candidate Janita, wife of sitting BJP MLA Pandurang Madkaikar.

Naik also said that he was a registered voter of the Panaji assembly constituency. 

When asked if he would ask voters in Cumbarjua to vote for Janita, Naik said: "I will tell Vasco voters".

To another question, about whom he would ask his party workers to vote for in Cumbarjua, Naik was equally cryptic: "They are party voters. They will vote".
