Sawant tweeted “Congratulations to Shri. Sadanand Shet Tanavade on being elected unopposed as President of BJP Goa Pradesh. I am confident that under his leadership the party will continue to scale greater heights.”

54-year-old Tanavade is currently State General Secretary of the party.

Party’s election returning officer Govind Parvatkar had told reporters on Saturday that Tanavade had filed three sets, all of which would be placed before State Council meeting on Sunday morning.

The announcement about new Chief would be made by party’s National Vice President Avinash Rai Khanna on Sunday in presence of party workers on Sunday.
