  • Bhartiya Janta Party(BJP) has appointed Nitin Gadkari as the election in-charge for the upcoming assembly elections in Goa. Gadkari, who is the Minister for Road Transport and Highways Shipping, was chosen as the election in-charge by the party’s President, Amit Shah.
  • Earlier on Saturday the BJP President asserted that the results of 2017 Goa assembly elections will be fundamental to the foundation of “party’s victory” in the 2019 general elections.
  • The Goa elections are expected to be a close fight between BJP, AAP and the Congress with drug trade, and corruption set to take center stage as the major election issues in the island state of Goa. Nitin Gadkari is expected to help BJP retain its grip in a state which is seen as one of its strongholds.
