Speaking at the meeting, Ajay Govekar stated that the loyal workers of BJP worked hard for last 15 to 20 years for the upliftment of party.
"But the senior leaders of the BJP without taking the karyakartas into confidence imported the leader of Goa Forward Party into BJP and offered the BJP ticket for Saligao constituency to him.
"BJP karyakartas have now selected two candidates namely Kedar Naik and Rupesh Naik and out of these two, one candidate will be fielded from Saligao constituecy after taking the karyakartas into confidence. The karyakartas should stand united and work together and elect the selected candidate," said Govekar.
The sarpanch of Reis Magos Kedar Naik mentioned that ex-MLA Jayesh Salgaonkar failed to attend the to basic issues of water supply of the Saligao constituency.
"The residents of Reis Magos and Pilerne are still starving for water. He was not seen during Covid pandemic too.
"BJP karyakartas offered assistance to the people of Saligao constituency during Covid pandemic. Since Jayesh Salgaonkar felt that he would not be re-elected on GFP ticket he managed to get entry into BJP through the back door," said Naik.
Rupesh Naik stated that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant had assured the BJP karyakartas on three occasions that the candidate recommended by karyakartas will be issued the ticket for Saligao constituency.
"Now the Chief Minister and President of Goa BJP have backstabbed the karyakartas by importing the leader from other party to contest the ensuing assembly election and also dissolved all the committees of Saligao constituency. This is not acceptable to BJP karyakartas who have worked all these years for the upliftment of the party," said Naik.
