MARGAO: Two days after he embraced the BJP in a midnight political drama after breaking away from the MGP, deputy Chief Minister Babu Azgaonkar on Thursday said he has come to stay in the BJP which he had deserted in the past to join the Congress.
And, Babu made it clear to the media that never in his political career, he has brought down any government, saying he has only helped to form governments.
“I have a history of changing parties in the last two decades, from the Congress to the BJP, back in the Congress and to the MGP and now in the BJP. I want to clarify that I will not change any more parties as I have come to stay in the BJP”, he told the media after BJP South Goa Lok Sabha candidate Narendra Sawaikar filed his nomination papers on Thursday.
The deputy Chief Minister made the statement in the presence of party leaders, including Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, Union Minister Sripad Naik, party president Vinay Tendulkar, sitting MP Narendra Sawaikar and others as his remark that he had been a part of almost all the parties resulted in a bout of laughter.
“I have been a four-time Minister in my career and now the BJP has given me the post of Dy Chief Minister. I will ensure that the fruits of this post goes to the common man’, Babu later told the media.
