The ruling BJP in Goa
Sunday said the opposition Congress
was daydreaming about forming the government in the state after May 23, when results of the bypolls to four Assembly seats will be declared along with the Lok Sabha
elections.
By-election to three Assembly constituencies- Shiroda, Mapusa, Mandrem - and election to two parliamentary seats in the state were held on April 23, while bypoll to Panaji seat will be held on May 19.
Atanasio Monserratte, who is Congress' Panaji bypoll candidate, had last week told reporters that his party would form the government in Goa after the results.
However, BJP's Goa unit chief Vinay Tendulkar Sunday said the Congress
was daydreaming and trying to sell to the people their dream of forming the government in Goa after the poll results.
He expressed confidence that the BJP would win all the four bypolls.
"The Congress
is lying to the people, as after May 23, the BJP, which currently has 14 MLAs, will have its strength increased to 18. The BJP already enjoys the support of six members from the alliance partners three each from Goa Forward Party (GFP) and independents," he said.
