Not to contest Lok Sabha poll as well as Mapusa Assembly by-poll.
Decision on Mandrem would be on Wednesday.
MGP leader Sudin Dhavalikar claims they still support the BJP government.
But whether to continue the support and also whom to support in elections would be decided on 8th of April.
MGP always supported BJP in Lok Sabha. But Sudin says this election would be different.
Sudin had a lengthy press conference on Tuesday, blasting the BJP leadership, including his favourite union minister Nitin Gadkari.
But he has still not disclosed whom MGP will support in Lok Sabha as well as in Mapusa.
It was earlier indicated that Sudin and Naresh Sawal would contest from South and North Goa.
According to Sudin, MGP contesting from Shiroda was decided soon after 2017 Assembly election.
Because it was Congress constituency.
But suddenly Congress MLA Subhash Shirodkar jumped into BJP and the situation changed.
He also said it is a decision of his whole family that Deepak should contest from Shiroda.
Though he was dropped as a minister from the coalition government and his two other MLAs joined the BJP, Sudin claims that he has still not withdrawn the letter of support given to the Governor.
But in the same breadth, he says that all the three BJP MPs have completely failed in resolving the mining crisis.
