Panaji, Jul 11: Amidst speculations that chief minister Pramod Sawant may drop some MLAs from coalition partners from his cabinet, Goa Forward Party chief and deputy chief minister Vijai Sardesai said that his party has not been told about implication of the development on it.
A group of ten Congress MLAs broke away and merged into BJP. The group was led by leader of Opposition, Chandrakant Kavlekar.
As the strength of BJP went up to 27 on the floor of the House, speculations were rife that Sawant might drop coalition partners from his cabinet.
“One party has split and another party has accepted them. My party is not related to the development,” Sardesai reacted.
“We are part of NDA and I have not been told about any implication of this development on my party,” he added.
Goa Forward Party with its three MLAs had extended support to then Manohar Parrikar led government in 2017 and then Pramod Sawant led government in 2019.
