Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari on Friday wished the AAP well for the upcoming state assembly elections in Goa, claiming that AAP would ensure a “Congress-mukt” Goa, if it campaigns aggressively enough and ensures the BJP’s victor. He will be chairing a meeting of ministers and party MLAs in afternoon tomorrow and would be holding a meeting of BJP core group in the night. He also said that the matter as regards allowing the Congress MLA Pandurang Madkaikar in the MGP is yet to come before the central committee of the MGP. “I wish them well, because they will help us win.it will help us indirectly”, Gadkari said making a tongue-in-cheek remark.
“There is large scale unhappiness in Congress”. I have got the preliminary report.
“(Defence Minister) Manohar Parrikar and Parsekar will take decision on their proposal to join the party”, he added.
