As Amit Shah Campaigns For Goa Chief Minister, A Congress Taunt

Goa Polls: Responding to Congress' taunt, BJP said the people are aware Congress is going to be defeated in the February 14 polls to the 40-member assembly.

Goa Congress president Girish Chodankar on Wednesday taunted the ruling BJP for calling in Union Home Minister Amit Shah for campaigning in Sankhalim, from where chief minister Pramod Sawant is contesting, saying the Chief Minister knows he is going to lose from the assembly seat. Dear @girishgoa Bab, people of #Goa too knows that @INCGoa is losing; your refusal to campaign for your alliance partner @Goaforwardparty in #Fatorda, raises a question of your credibility. @prudentgoapic.twitter.com/0nWoaOBzd3

Hitting back at the opposition party, Goa BJP president Sadanand Shet Tanavade said the people of the state are aware that Congress is going to be defeated in the February 14 polls to the 40-member assembly.

Amit Shah is scheduled to address a public meeting at Sankhalim, from where Mr Sawant is the BJP candidate, on Wednesday evening.

Mr Chodankar said the BJP knows Mr Sawant is likely to lose from Sankhalim and that is why the ruling party has invited Amit Shah to campaign in his favour.
