PANJIM: Almost after more than six months, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday reconstituted its media cell in the State.
The new media cell consists of five spokespersons including former MLAs Dayanand Sopte and Glenn Souza Ticlo, Adv Yatish Naik, Prabhakar Gaonkar and Giriraj Pai Vernekar. Adv NaiK and Vernekar have been reappointed as spokespersons.
In February this year, the BJP had dissolved its spokespersons cell comprising six members after taking note of spokespersons countering each other on twitter and one of them often expressing his critical views on the party and the government.
BJP State president Sadanand Shet Tanavade had however denied that the dissolution of the media cell had anything to do with spokespersons taking to twitter and countering each other’s tweets.
