The Shiv Sena, which is contesting the Goa Assembly election in alliance with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), announced its first list of nine candidates on Friday.
Announcing the list, Sena MP Sanjay Raut said that while the party had nominated Shailendra Velingkar as its candidate for the Panaji seat, the Sena would withdraw its candidate if Utpal Parrikar, son of late Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, decided to contest from the same seat, which was traditionally held by the late Mr. Parrikar.
