PANAJI: Former Minister of Lax Minister of Parade’s decision to resign from BJP and the contest as independent of the Dairand Sopte Party candidate, in Mandrem, was very unfortunate and wrong, the state president of Sajawand Shet Tanavade said on Sunday.
Sopte was given a ticket by the central leadership based on victory, he said.
“BJP is a very big party.
You sometimes feel bad about your person leaving, but it doesn’t make a difference for the party,” Sopte said.
In the election of the last assembly, the parsekar lost to Sopte, which then the Congress candidate, was 7,119 votes.
“Laxmikant Parsekar has taken a very unfortunate step.
Parsekar is the president of the party and knows very well that tickets are decided by the central leadership and not state leadership.
And SOPTE has been given tickets now based on the criteria of victory,” he said.
He said after BJP did not get the majority in 2017, Manohar Parragar as CM had decided to bring SOPTE into the folds of the party, after that the last successfully won Mandrem Bypoll again with a majority of great.
“Parsekar has made a wrong decision.
Working for a party only for Mla’s wrong post and we sent the wrong signal to the Karyakartas party.
Being a senior leader, he was called twice to Delhi and the discussion happened to him.
But even after all this he still took steps Which is really wrong, “said the President of the State Party.
Tanavade said that he had lost the 2007 poll with a narrow margin, but was not allocated tickets for the 2012 poll, but still firm with the party.
“I lost only 160 votes.
In 2012, when I wasn’t given a ticket, I didn’t leave a party.
BJP is a very large organization and you don’t lose anything by not being able to oppose the election.
The party gives you a respect that you deserve.
It is the reason a senior leader like Rajendra Arlekar, although it comes from a small country, given the position of Governor of Himachal Pradesh, noting his work, “he said.
He said he was sure that Sopte would win the Mandrem seat for BJP with a large margin on the February poll.
