BJP to announce new Goa CM by evening

New Delhi, Nov 8: The BJP parliamentary board's decision on the new Goa chief minister will be announced in the evening, party general secretary J.P. Nadda said after its meeting ended here Saturday. He said the announcement will be made at 4 p.m. Goa's Health Minister Laxmikant Parsekar and Speaker Rajendra Arlekar are the top seeds for the post, but the state's Deputy Chief Minister Francis D'Souza Friday said he will not work under either of the two leaders because they were junior to him. However, he was receptive to the idea of union Minister for Tourism and Culture Shripad Naik being appointed as chief minister.
