Goa Bjp Spokespersons

The Goa unit of the ruling BJP today revoked the appointment of its spokespersons in the state with immediate effect and the names of new appointees will be announced in the next couple of days, the party's senior functionary said.

Goa police should track down drug lords of state's narcotic trade network and "powerful" politicians should be thoroughly investigated, said Dattaprasad Naik, Goa BJP spokesperson on Thursday, following a raid at an illegal rave party in Vagator wherein drugs worth over Rs 9 lakhs were allegedly seized.

While the BJP has dramatically increased its strength in the 40-member Goa Assembly from 17 to 27 after 10 Congress lawmakers switched sides earlier this week, not all workers of the ruling party are happy about the move and have questioned the leadership. Some of them say they are "demoralised".

Former defence minister and current Goa chief minister Manohar Parrikar, who is suffering from pancreatic cancer, knows a "whole lot of things" about the controversial Rafale fighter jet deal, Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said on Saturday.

The cloak of secrecy surrounding the illnesses of Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar and former Congress President Sonia Gandhi are not comparable, Congress National Spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said in Goa capital Panaji on Saturday.

A BJP spokesperson on Tuesday likened statements made by state Congress president Girish Chodankar to "WhatsApp crap", slamming the leader of the opposition party for making baseless allegations against the ruling BJP-led coalition government in Goa.

A Goa BJP spokesperson on Monday called Congress President Rahul Gandhi a "loafer" for winking in Parliament, a day after the state Congress chief called Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar a "kathputli" (puppet) for bowing to unreasonable demands of ruling coalition allies in the coastal state.

A lawyer on Monday submitted a complaint to the Goa Crime Branch against BJP spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi for allegedly leaking the name of the woman journalist who has accused Tehelka editor-in-chief Tarun Tejpal of sexual assault.

On the final day of the BJP conclave in Goa, spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain addressed the media. He hinted at the possible elevation in the role for Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi- an announcement to that effect, will happen soon, he said. Here are the highlights of what Mr Hussain said today:

As BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar announced today that veteran leader LK Advani will not attend a crucial meet of the party in Goa this weekend citing ill-health, about 30 protesters stood outside Mr Advani's house in Delhi and chanted pro-Narendra Modi slogans.
