With the State gearing up for the Zilla Parishad elections, Cortalim BJP loyalist and former Mormugao Planning and Development Authority (MPDA) member Achut Naik has decided to contest the ZP election from Sancoale.
When contacted, Naik confirmed that he would contest the ZP election from Sancoale.
“I have been approached by many people from the area and have got a lot of support from party members as well. I will soon meet Panchayats Minister Mauvin Godinho to discuss the issue and request the party approval.”
“I have also been the MPDA member from Cortalim and have been a hardcore BJP karyakarta since 1992 , when I was just 12 years old. I have had discussions with various office bearers of BJP and I look forward to being the BJP candidate for the elections,” said Naik.
Naik was confident that the BJP would consider his request for the BJP candidature to contest the ZP election from Sancoale.
Sancoale area is presently represented by Mariano Rodrigues, who is affiliated to the Congress. Mariano Rodrigues had also contested the assembly elections from Cortalim on the Congress ticket in the 2017 elections.
