The moment Goa Forward Party (GFP) indicated that it won’t support the BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls if the mining crisis in Goa is not resolved, the BJP today said that a solution to the current mining crisis would be found much before the polls.

President of GFP, Vijai Sardesai, had yesterday said that the BJP  in Goa will face problems if the mining activities in the state do not resume soon.

“GFP won’t support the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections if they fail to resolve the mining crisis,” Vijai had said. After this GFP statement, the ruling BJP party said the mining crisis would be resolved soon.

Speaking to media persons, BJP’s Goa unit president Vinay Tendulkar said that there will be no issue of GFP not supporting BJP during Lok Sabha polls as the mining industry crisis would be resolved soon, much before the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

“The Centre was serious about the issue and it was trying all possible ways to resume operations of the iron ore mining industry in the state, said Tendulkar.
