BBSM’s doors are open for BJP legislators: Velingkar

Bharatiya Bhasha Suraksha Manch (BBSM) convener and rebel RSS leader Subhash Velingkar on Sunday said their doors are open for Goa BJP legislators if they want to join his soon-to-be-launched political outfit.

"Some BJP MLAs are not happy with the party's decision, their conscience does not permit them to accept what party has been saying. I feel that they should show the guts and come with us. Our doors are open for them. We will welcome them," Velingkar told PTI, after chairing the meeting of district and taluka level workers of BBSM on Sunday.

He also attacked Manohar Parrikar over his comments about being a "disciplined swayamsevak", saying the Defence Minister is wrong if he feels his actions (over medium of instruction issue when he was Goa CM) were of discipline.

Velingkar also hit out at Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar and said they will lose their 'kavach kundals' (immunity) after the Goa Assembly elections.
