BJP minister and Canacona MLA Ramesh Tawadkar clarified that he had no involvement in the recent Goa Forward meeting which was stopped by police. He emphasised that with the election code of conduct in effect, all political parties must obtain proper permissions before holding campaign events. Calling himself and Goa Forward’s Vijai Sardesai “shanno” (smart), Tawadkar described himself as a responsible politician who refrains from criticising opponents and indicated he would not interfere with opposition meetings, respecting democratic processes and legal guidelines.
