Former Goa chief minister Manohar Parrikar's son Utpal Parrikar said today that the BJP will introspect on its defeat in the by-election to the Panaji Assembly seat, which his father held for about 25 years.

Chief Minister Pramod Sawant appeared to have fared well in his first real test in the Goa's post Manohar Parrikar era, pulling off a creditable performance in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections and Assembly bypolls, in which BJP won one Lok Sabha seat, lost another and also earned victories in three out of the four Assembly bypolls.

Goa has offered a consolatory pat to the Congress on a day when the country seemed set to bring the Narendra Modi-led BJP back to power with an overwhelming mandate in the Lok Sabha elections.

Voting is in progress for the bypoll to the Panaji assembly constituency since morning, which was necessitated due to the death of former Goa chief minister Manohar Parrikar in March.

The BJP and Congress on Tuesday sparred over the disappearance of a woman who had accused Congress Panaji bypoll candidate Atanasio Monserratte of rape in 2016.

The "missing" rape victim who, in 2016, had accused Congress leader Atanasio Monserrate, now a candidate for the Panaji assembly bypoll on May 19, could have gone for a party or a wedding and may not be missing at all, Goa Congress said

The Goa BJP Sunday said opposition parties were trying to create a rift in it by using the name of former chief minister late Manohar Parrikar's son Utpal, who was not given a ticket for the Panaji bypoll.

The BJP on Sunday claimed the Congress Panaji Assembly bypoll candidate Atanasio Monserrate had approached them for a ticket, a charge denied by him.

Manohar Parrikar's son Utpal Parrikar will not make his electoral debut yet. After much discussion, the ruling BJP has decided to field Manohar Parrikar's former aide Sidharth Kuncalienker instead for Panaji, which fell vacant after the death of the former chief minister in March.

Utpal Parrikar, the elder son of late Goa chief minister Manohar Parrikar, is one of the two people shortlisted by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to contest the upcoming bypoll in the Panaji Assembly seat, a party leader said on Thursday.
