HC’s order on Ponda bypoll shocking, waiting for ECI response: Goa CM
PANAJI: Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Wednesday termed “shocking” the High Court order on the Ponda assembly byelection after the HC declared the Election Commission of India’s poll notification “null and void”, effectively cancelling the April 9 contest.
“The decision of the court is shocking. We are in touch with our Central party leadership,” Sawant told reporters.
He said the BJP accepts the HC’s order and is awaiting a formal notification from the ECI. “We are yet to get the notification from the ECI,” he added.
