From Ayurveda Practitioner to Goa CM: Who Is Pramod Sawant

During Parrikar’s illness, Sawant was reportedly tasked with attending various public functions on his behalf.

From being an Ayurveda practitioner to being named Goa’s new chief minister, 46-year-old Pramod Sawant has come a long way. He was sworn in at 2 am on Tuesday, 19 March, amidst a political frenzy that broke out in the state following the demise of Manohar Parrikar.

A two-time Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Sanquelim in North Goa, Sawant is also known to be a dedicated RSS worker since his childhood.
