Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut hints at another ‘miracle’ in Goa

Mumbai/Panaji: Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Friday predicted that after Maharashtra, there could be a “miracle” and a potential political earthquake in Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled Goa soon.

The ruling BJP has dismissed Raut’s claim as a “pipe dream”.

“At least four MLAs, including those with Goa Forward Party President Vijay Sardesai are in contact with Shiv Sena. We plan to form a separate front in that state with various parties, including Congress. We are hopeful that there could be a ‘miracle’ in Goa also soon,” Raut told the media.

The Sena leader’s comments on the political situation in the neighbouring state came a day after the Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party-Congress’ Maha Vikas Aghadi led by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray took office in Maharashtra.

Interestingly, Sardesai has repeatedly insisted, that while his party opposes the BJP-led coalition government in Goa, his party continues to be a part of the pan-India National Democratic Alliance. Sardesai was sacked as Deputy Chief Minister soon after Pramod Sawant took charge as Chief Minister after the demise of Manohar Parrikar in March this year. (IANS)
