PANJIM: Following victories in the civic polls in Rajasthan and now in Bangalore, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Goa has predicted victory for panels backed by the party in the forthcoming municipal elections, scheduled for October 25.

Eleven municipal councils will be going to the polls which will be fought on party lines.
Addressing media persons, BJP Panjim MLA Sidharath Kuncolienkar said the party has been successful in implementing a majority of its 2012 election promises, including reduction of VAT on petrol, welfare schemes like Griha Adhar, Laadli Laxmi, schemes for mining affected people, etc.
