BJP threatens action against party deserters
CANACONA: After removing Dharbandora ZP member Govind Gaonkar from the party for indulging in anti-party activities, the BJP has now turned its ire at Poinguinim ZP member Dr Pushpa Aiya for supporting rebel independent candidate Ramesh Tawadkar in Canacona.
BJP has threatened to take disciplinary action against party workers for defying the party's decision and canvassing against the party candidate.
BJP South District president Sarvanand Bhagat and Canacona Block president Mahesh Naik said that Dr Aiya, till Tuesday, had told them that she was not in a position to join the BJP campaign for Khot as she was attending to an ailing relative outside Goa, but had openly shared the dais with party's rebel and independent candidate Tawadkar on Wednesday.
“Disciplinary action is on the cards as she was elected as ZP member on the BJP symbol," said Bhagat.
Mahesh Naik said, “Disciplinary action will also be taken against other party functionaries for deserting the party candidate and working for someone else.”
