Speaking to reporters at a resort near the city, he said, “I think everything will be clear by 2 pm.”
When asked about the approximate time of swearing-in he said,’Around after three.’
Mr Teundulkar was accompanied by Goa Assembly Speaker Dr Pramod Sawant, who is also a potential candidate for the top post in the state.
