Is BJP State president Damubab Naik being considered as a candidate for the Ponda seat in the upcoming by-election? When this question was posed to him by the media over the weekend, Damubab said it came as “big news” to him. He clarified that neither the Ponda block nor the party leadership has proposed his name as a candidate. In fact, he pointed out that his primary role as party chief is to take the party to every nook and corner of the State and increase its vote share. Any questions?
