The BJP is willing to include the demand to grant special status to Goa in its manifesto for Lok Sabha elections, a senior party functionary said here Wednesday.
Many groups in the coastal state have been demanding special status for Goa, which has been facing challenges from in-migration, scarce land resource and a resultant dilution of its identity.
"We are accepting all the suggestions. The BJP is willing to include special status (demand) for Goa as a part of its election manifesto for Lok Sabha polls. We will implement the demand," BJP national vice president Vinay Sahasrabuddhe told reporters.
The BJP's assurance came at a time when Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has been demanding special category status for the southern state which was bifurcated to create Telangana in 2014.
