PANAJI
Panaji BJP MLA Atanasio (Babush) Monserrate said he would forward the legacy of former chief minister late Manohar Parrikar and fulfill his dreams for Panaji constituency.
“This is a special constituency as Parrikar represented this constituency. I cannot compare myself with Parrikar but I will move forward in his direction to make Panaji as Parrikar wanted it to be,” said Monserrate while speaking to media persons after being given the party ticket for Panaji constituency.
Monserrate said he would resume his campaign in Panaji constituency.
“I was confident of getting of the BJP ticket, but it would have been embarrassing for me to answer to people on why others were also campaigning and claiming to have the BJP ticket. Now that I have got the ticket, I will campaign from tomorrow.”
Monserrate said his wife, Jennifer, got the ticket as she is the sitting MLA and has a capacity to win.
“The same criteria applies to Divya Rane in Poriem, as the seat, which was represented by her father-in-law will now be represented by her.”
