New Delhi: With Gujarat affairs apparently settled, the BJP top brass is now looking at Goa where Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party is causing tremors. After Anandiben Patel in Gujarat, the BJP could possibly go for a change of guard in Goa.
Speculation is rife that chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar might be asked to step down and defence minister, Manohar Parrikar, may be asked to take charge of the state yet again as the ruling BJP seems to be in major trouble.
Sources in the BJP revealed that reports of a non-performing government and AAP rapidly gaining ground were pouring in from Goa. They also said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had recently sought reports on Goa following hints of AAP’s emergence.
There have also been reports of differences between the BJP and RSS in Goa.
The RSS feels that the BJP has betrayed the cause of regional languages, which includes Konkani and Marathi.
