In Goa's Poriem, Son Vishwajit To Contest Polls Against Father Pratapsingh Rane

Rane's son and BJP MP Vishwajit Rane said that he will compete with his father for the Poriem seat.

Former Goa Chief Minister Pratapsingh Rane on Tuesday, 21 December, announced that he will contest the 2022 Goa Assembly elections on a Congress ticket.

"Congress block members and well-wishers have urged me to file nomination. I will contest the upcoming assembly elections from Poriem constituency as a Congress candidate," the 10-time MLA and veteran Congress leader told reporters in Goa.

Soon after Rane's announcement of his candidature from Poriem, his son, Vishwajit Rane, told the media in a startling development that he will be competing with his father for the Poriem seat on a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket.
