Consensus candidate against Parrikar non starter, admits BBSM

The Bharatiya Basha Suraksha Manch today as much admitted to it, though still not completely ruling it out.

Initially there were talks of a consensus candidate. However, though the Aam Admi Party has not kept a candidate in Panji and Valpoi, the political wing of the BBSM, the Goa Suraksha Manch has put up its leader Anand Shirodkar  as a candidate against Parrikar.

The GSM formed to push the agenda of the BBSM of education in local language did not even come close to winning a seat in the recently concluded assembly elections.

Most of the speakers at the BBSM Wednesday press conference spoke on the government and its education policy.
