Reis Magos sarpanch Kedar Naik and five other panchas have resigned from the primary membership of BJP.
Naik submitted his resignation along with five panch members, Sushmita Pednekar, Subhash Pednekar, Suraj Chodankar, Rajesh Bhonsale and Felix Rodrigues.
Speaking to The Goan, Naik said he resigned because BJP had inducted former Goa Forward Party MLA Jayesh Salgaonkar into BJP without taking BJP karyakartas in confidence.
“When Salgaonkar was MLA, he had behaved rudely with BJP karyakartas, used filthy language and also harassed them. The BJP has done great injustice to loyal karyakartas, and hence, there is no point in continuing with the BJP.”
“I have not decided as yet about joining any other party. I will consult my supporters and take an appropriate decision at the right time,” said Naik.
