Meanwhile, sources in the BJP disclosed to goanews.com that two senior party functionaries – Datta Kholkar and Sadanand Shet Tanavde – met Wagh today afternoon to discuss the proposal of the chief minister.
Following this meeting, Wagh today evening released the press statement, stating that no offer is made to him till now and he would decide only when the offer is made formally.
