Goa BJP to see change, with complete reset upto the top?

Buzz within the Goa BJP suggests an imminent change of guard, with senior leadership considering a complete reset at the top. Insiders hint that the move stems from growing dissatisfaction among cadres and reports of strained coordination between the party organization and the government. Delhi is said to be closely monitoring local dynamics, assessing fresh options to rejuvenate the unit ahead of key electoral exercises. Several names are reportedly doing the rounds for the top post, with the central leadership likely to emphasize both loyalty and grassroots connection. The shake-up, if confirmed, could significantly alter Goa’s BJP power structure.
