However, Cumbharjua BJP Mandal said it has not been formally informed by the Party about Madkaikar joining. Madkaikar is expected to be BJP’s candidate in Cumbharjua.
Speaking to The Goan, Madkaikar said, “I have decided to join the BJP on December 22. Additionally, nearly a hundred of my supporters will join BJP along with me.”
When contacted, Cumbharjua Mandal President Siddhesh Naik, who too is expecting to be BJP’s candidate, said the Mandal has not been informed about Madkaikar joining the party.
“We had strongly opposed Madkaikar’s entry. We were told that before taking a final decision, we would be told about it. But we have still not been informed”, he said.
Last month, the core committee of BJP had a meeting with workers of Cumbharjua constituency, who had strongly opposed Madkaikar’s entry.
