GOANEWS DESK, PANAJI | 20 February 2016 22:19 IST
The Bharatiya Janata Party goes for a major revamp in its top-level office bearers of 75-member state executive committee, with wives of two legislators getting prominent positions - tourism minister Dilip Parulekar and Sankhli MLA Pramod Sawant.
While four MLAs and one MP get top positions in the ruling party’s organisational body announced by second-time president Vinay Tendulkar, Sanjeev Desai continues to be the treasurer the party.
While Dr Sawant continues to be the party spokesperson, his wife Sulakshana will be now president of the BJP Mahila Morcha.
Similarly, minister Parulekar’s wife Medha would be the party secretary.
While South Goa MP Narendra Sawaikar gets a position of general secretary, Vasco MLA Carlos Almeida is the vice president and two MLAs would be the party spokespersons – Nilesh Cabral and Kiran Kandolkar, besides Dr Wilfred Mesquita continuing to be the spokesman.
Damu Naik also gets an important position of the party general secretary, while party has not filled the vacancy of Satish Dhond, the RSS appointee, till date.
Sadanand Shet Tanavde, who yesterday resigned as the OSD to the chief minister, has been made the party’s general secretary, on the eve of forthcoming Assembly election.

MAHILA MORCHA STATE PRESIDENT
Sulakshana Pramod Sawant
The committee lacks adequate representation for Catholic community. Secondly two time Margao BJP candidate Sharmad Raiturkar doesn't find place in the committee. BJP seems to have replaced Michael Lobo with Carlos Almeida at the higher decision making body.Lastly surprising to see Arecio D'Souza name in the list. When has he joined BJP.
