The Aaam Aaami Party on Saturday claimed that it has learnt from trusted sources that the BJP is set to replace Goa chief minister Pramod Sawant ahead of next year's assembly polls as people are sad with the performance of the state government under his leadership.

Briefing a press meet at the party headquarters here, senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia claimed that the BJP has decided to appoint a new chief minister because it has understood that it would be difficult for it to go to polls in the state under Sawant's leadership. There was no immediate reaction from the BJP. People of Goa are discontented with the state government under Sawant's leadership as his dispensation failed to deliver on various fronts during its term, Sisodia said.

Sharing details before media persons, Sisodia said ''We have learnt from very reliable sources that the BJP is going to replace Goa chief minister Pramod Sawant with someone else just two-three months ahead of the elections in the state. He went on to say ''The BJP has decided to remove Sawant and appoint a new chief minister as it has understood that it will be very difficult for the party to join the fray under his leadership because he did not work during his term. People are very unhappy with the Pramod Sawant government.”
