Public Works Department Minister Digambar Kamat has said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is fully prepared to contest the upcoming Margao Municipal Council (MMC) elections even if they are announced at very short notice.
Speaking to the media, Kamat stated that the party is ready to go to the polls even with just a 24-hour notice. He added that the BJP has already finalised its candidates and is only awaiting the announcement of reserved seats, after which minor adjustments will be made wherever necessary.

Kamat further said that the present ruling councillors in the Margao Municipal Council are aligned with him as well as BJP state president Damu Naik, strengthening the party’s position ahead of the elections.
Recently, the state government increased the strength of the MMC from 25 to 27 members by creating two additional wards, a move that is expected to play a role in the electoral strategy of political parties.
The minister expressed confidence that the BJP will perform strongly in the municipal elections whenever they are held.
