Moving swiftly to snuff out Congress attempts to wrest power in Goa following the death of Manohar Parrikar,the BJP on Monday March 18,2019 chose Assembly Speaker Pramod Sawant as the new Chief Minister
of the state.
Pramod Sawant and his cabinet of 11 ministers took oath early Tuesday morning March 19,2019
With that, Goa has a new chief minister and a functional cabinet.
An ayurveda teacher, Pramod Sawant is a second-term MLA. His critics say his biggest advantage is the fact that he keeps to himself and gets work done without much fanfare, a style which brought him to Parrikar’s notice. An RSS member since his childhood in Kotambi village, and later a Yuva BJP leader, Sawant is seen as the “most obvious choice” by many.
The Goa Assembly strength is down to 36 MLAs — with the deaths of Manohar Parrikar on Sunday March 1,2019 and Francis D’Souza in February, and with two Congress members having resigned. The Congress has 14 MLAs, the BJP 12, the MGP and Goa Forward Party 3 each, the NCP one and 3 are Independents
