Despite leading from the Panaji constituency in Goa, BJP candidate Atanasio Monserrate on March 10 expressed his dissatisfaction and said that the cadre hasn’t accepted him into the party. “Disappointed as far as results are concerned. BJP cadre didn't work for me but for opposition candidate. I fought BJP and Congress. It's due to the support of a few workers and supporters that we managed to retain the seat,” he said. “I feel BJP cadre hasn't accepted me into the party. I look at it in that way. If he (Utpal Parrikar) can get so many votes, it's just because the cadre shifted their votes to him. BJP leadership here didn't manage to do damage control,” he added.
