Three-time MLA Pramod Sawant will continue as the chief minister of Goa for a second term, the BJP announced on Monday after he was unanimously elected the legislature party head, 11 days after he led the saffron outfit to its second-best performance in terms of seats in Assembly polls in the coastal state. 

Sawant said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President J P Nadda will attend the swearing-in ceremony of the new government for which a date is yet to be decided. 

Talking to reporters here, he said the exact date of swearing-in would be decided only after getting confirmation of the schedule from the PM and Nadda. 

Soon after Sawant (48) was elected the leader of the legislature party in Goa, the BJP staked a claim to form the new government with support from two MGP MLAs and three Independent legislators for a third straight term, a credible achievement in a state known for its political volatility and shifting of loyalties.
