BJP appoints Narendra Singh Tomar, L. Murugan as central observers for Goa

The Hindu  

Amid suspense over the choice of Goa’s next Chief Minister, the BJP top leadership on Monday appointed Union Minister for Agriculture Narendra Singh Tomar and Union Minister of State for Fisheries and Animal Husbandry L. Murugan as observer and co-observer for the election of the leader of Goa’s legislative party. Sawant’s thin victory margin While the BJP will stake claim to form government for the third consecutive term, the issue of who will fill the Chief Minister’s post continues to draw speculation given Pramod Sawant’s thin victory margin from his constituency, Sanquelim. Mr. Rane’s win has put a cloud over Mr. Sawant’s claim to the Chief Minister’s post. Later, an irate Mr. Rane hit out at the media for reading ‘political intent’ into what was purely a “personal visit.” “Much as Vishwajit Rane may angle for the Chief Minister’s post, the party’s top leadership is unlikely to replace Pramod Sawant at this stage.
