PONDA: The MGP Central Committee clarified on Monday that the party had offered unconditional support to the BJP government only after the party’s central leadership had requested for the same.
Addressing the media, Pratap Fadte along with other MGP Central Committee members said on March 10 after the election results were declared the BJP Central leadership contacted Sudin Dhavlikar following which the MGP Central committee offered its support to the BJP Government without any condition.
“Our support is unconditional and based on the request made by the BJP Central leadership. The BJP central leadership will decide Whether to give MGP a place in the cabinet or not,” Fadte said.
He rejected the allegations of Shiroda, Ponda, Marcaim and Priol BJP block presidents that the MGP offered support without BJP asking for the same.
He said, “they are unaware about BJP central leadership discussing the issue with MGP leaders on providing support”.
It may be recalled that BJP block presidents had said that there is no need of support for BJP government nor should the MGP should be given any cabinet berth in the government.
MGP leader Sudin Dhavlikar had on earlier occasions said that since the BJP National leaders had contacted him he is offering unconditional support to BJP government without any expectations and that MGP Central committee has permitted the same.
