No Ticket For Union Minister Shripad Naik's Son In BJP's 2nd List For Goa Polls

Similarly, BJP's first list of 34 candidates for Goa polls had excluded Utpal Parrikar, son of former chief minister Manohar Parrikar.

The BJP on Wednesday announced its second and final list of six candidates for the February 14 Goa Assembly elections.

It included Assembly Speaker Rajesh Patnekar who would contest from his current constituency of Bicholim.

But Siddhesh Naik, the son of Union minister Shripad Naik who was reportedly seeking ticket from Cumbharjua, did not find place in the list.

Ms Jainita, former state minister and sitting MLA Pandurang Madkaikar's wife, would contest on BJP ticket from the constituency.
