Panaji: Rebel RSS leader Subhash Velingkar on Sunday floated a new party in Goa and vowed to defeat the BJP in the coming Assembly polls but an unfazed BJP claimed it would be helped electorally.
Announcing the formation of Goa Suraksha Manch (GSM), Velingkar, who was removed as Goa RSS chief on August 31 after his public tirade against the BJP leaders over the regional language issue, said they are in talks with parties like Shiv Sena and Goa Praja Party for alliance during Goa polls.
However, Velingkar’s name did not figure in the first list of office-bearers released on Sunday.
The Goa Suraksha Manch would be headed by Anand Shirodkar, a senior leader of Bharatiya Bhasha Suraksha Manch (BBSM) headed by Velingkar who was angered by BJP government’s refusal to withdraw grants to English medium schools.
The rebel RSS leader claimed the newly formed party has its presence across 35 (out of 40) constituencies of Goa and “is determined to defeat BJP in the state polls” due next year. (PTI)
