GSM candidate opposes party supporting Muthalik, supports Parrikar-Vijai

He has objected to his leaders supporting Pramod Muthalik as well as challenging chief minister Manohar Parrikar to ban VHP. In fact in the next Panaji by-election, he has supported Parrikar.

 Dr Ketan Bhatikar feels that the GSM is going away from party’s original agenda of Bhasha Suraksha. Instead of protecting Goa, he feels the GSM has started speaking divisive language by raising issues of Muthalik, VHP ban and Velim church attack case.

Dr Ketan Bhatikar has also asked why the GSM has till date not introspected over the party losing miserably in the last Assembly election. Going one step forward, he has also praised CM Parrikar as well as Goa Forward minister Vijai Sardesai. This time, for Panaji by-poll, he supports Parrikar.
