Panaji: BJP's move to disallow party MP Sripad Naik from contesting the forthcoming Assembly elections in the state has not gone down well with the Parliamentarian, who is yet to decide on campaigning for the party.
Naik said on Thursday that he is yet to decide on whether he would campaign for the party in Goa.
"There is still time for campaigning. Let the list of candidates be declared. I will take my stand only after that," he said.
North Goa MP Naik is one of the important members of the party and was considered as a Chief Ministerial candidate along with Manohar Parrikar.
State party executive had recommended that he should contest Goa polls from Porvorim constituency. However, BJP's Parliamentary committee, refused to allow Naik to participate in state politics.
When quizzed over the issue, BJP Goa chief Laxmikant Parsekar refused to comment. "All questions are not supposed to be answered," he said at a press conference yesterday.
Assembly elections will be held in Goa on March 3.
