Panaji: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Goa has set a target of winning more than 27 seats in the upcoming 2027 state legislative assembly election.
Addressing party workers in Panaji on Wednesday, Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant said that there is no doubt the party will continue to form the next government at the Centre under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He said that the number of seats for the next Lok Sabha elections (2029) is expected to rise to more than 300 due to the Prime Minister’s visionary leadership.
“We have to ensure that in the year 2027, we win more than 27 seats in the state,” the Chief Minister said, adding that the party’s vote share should increase from the current 33.36 per cent to 52 per cent.
Sawant urged party cadres to reach out to voters with information about various schemes of the central and state governments. “We must highlight the achievements of both governments in the areas of human resource development and infrastructure,” he added.
The Chief Minister said he is optimistic that the BJP will secure more than 27 seats in Goa through the dedicated efforts of its cadre.
Speaking to reporters after the event, BJP Goa President Damodar Naik said there is a need to restore discipline among the party’s legislators. “When we formed the government in 2001, there was discipline in the party. Now, after winning three to four elections in a row, there is a slight lack of discipline,” he stated.
Naik emphasized that MLAs should be attentive to the voice of the people.
