Pramod Sawant, Ayurveda Doc & People's Pick, Steps Out of Parrikar's Shadow With 2nd Term as Goa CM

News 18  

Overcoming anti-incumbency and displaying that the Bharatiya Janata Party has come out of the shadow of its tall leader late Manohar Parrikar, three time MLA Pramod Sawant took oath as Goa chief minister for the second term on Monday in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other senior leaders. An Ayurveda medical practitioner, Pramod Sawant is a three-time MLA from Sankhalim in North Goa and considers late Manohar Parrikar, the former CM of Goa who was a people?s favourite, as his mentor. About Pramod Sawant Sawant, a mild-mannered politician, who took over as chief minister for the first time in March 2019, led the BJP to victory in the recently concluded elections to the 40-member Goa Assembly in which the party bagged 20 seats, defying pre-poll predictions of a hung assembly. BJP?s performance in Goa polls While BJP managed to get one-seat-short close to the majority mark, the support from two MLAs of the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party, the coastal state?s oldest regional outfit, and three Independent legislators gave the Saffron party a comfortable position to stake claim to form the government.
