Ex-Cong MLA Vishwajit Rane joins BJP, clears way for Manohar Parrikar to contest from Valpoi

Former Goa Congress MLA Vishwajit Rane, who resigned from the party and the Assembly after refusing to vote against the trust motion of Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar last month, joined the Bhartiya Janata Party today. His entry into the saffron party clears the way for Parrikar, who needs to become a member of the Assembly within six months, to contest from Valpoi constituency vacated after Rane's resignation. The BJP Goa legislature wing recently adopted a resolution seeking Rane's induction into the party and also in the Cabinet. Rane is the son of Congress veteran and former Chief Minister Pratapsinh Rane, who was also elected to the Assembly from Poriem seat in North Goa during the recent state polls.
