Ponda municipal polls: BJP yet to declare names

The BJP is facing a dilemma in the Ponda civic polls with some wards seeing nominations of more than one of its members. Friday was the last day for filing nominations and BJP has failed to announce names of the candidates it is backing.

Stating that the difficulty lay in choosing one of their members over another to be part of the party-backed panel, a senior party functionary said they would choose the “right candidate” within two days.

Outgoing councillor and BJP in-charge for the PMC polls, Sunil Desai said that in wards where more than one party member has filed nomination they are trying to persuade them to favour one candidate.
Tuesday is the last day for withdrawing nominations.
