Mandrem and Shiroda bypolls were necessitated after Congress’ Dayanand Sopte and Subhash Shirodkar resigned from the Goa Assembly and joined the ruling BJP in October last year.
“I have been traditionally contesting from this constituency. Party workers want me to contest the bypoll. They feel if the BJP does not give me a ticket, then I should stand as an Independent,” Parsekar told PTI.
Parsekar said he had met BJP state general secretary Satish Dhond and asked him to carry out a survey to check the party’s chances of winning the Mandrem seat. Without naming Sopte, the former CM said local party workers had not accepted the “new person”.
