Goa BJP desk in-charge C.T. Ravi has said that Mhadei matter is in the court and the states will have to accept the verdict.

Replying to a question during the press conference on Monday, Ravi said that the matter is subjudice and he cannot speak on it.

“All three states – Goa, Karnataka and Maharashtra will have to accept the verdict of the court,” he said.

He further said that Karnataka and Goa will follow it adding as a national party both Karnataka and Goa are important
for the BJP.

Meanwhile, Ravi also said that the BJP has lost Karnataka elections because they (leaders of Karnataka) could not work the way the Prime Minister Narendra Modi works for the country.

“It was our mistake and we accept the defeat in the Karnataka assembly polls,” he added.

Ravi, who also lost the elections, claimed that there were multiple factors involved in it; however, the BJP has managed to secure its vote bank in
Karnataka polls.

“Due to guarantee card of the Congress, the BJP has lost 100 to 200 votes in each polling booth. We also could not set proper narrative in Karnataka,”
he admitted.

The BJP leader further said that the Modi government has transformed the country in all the sectors in the last nine years.

“BJP means schemes and Congress means scams,”
he said.

He said that one should compare the situation in the country before 2014 and how India has made progress in the last nine years under the leadership
of Modi.

Union Minister of State for Tourism and Ports Shripad Naik, BJP state president Sadanand Tanawade and general secretary Damodar Naik were present at the
press briefing.
