Elections to the state Legislative Assembly are scheduled to be held in early 2022.

CT Ravi, who briefly interacted with media persons on Thursday however claimed that the BJP does not focus on elections alone when asked about the party's plans ahead of the 2022 polls.

"The BJP is not just there for elections. We also work under the motto of 'Sewa hi Sangathan'. There are other parties who work only for elections. We do not do that. This party is for the people," Ravi said.

The two party leaders also conducted a review of development works carried out in the constituencies of individual MLAs, a party legislator said.

According to state Bharatiya Janata Party president Sadanand Shet Tanavade, the two central leaders also conducted a review of the Goa BJP's works carried out under the 'Seva hi Sangathan' programme.

"BL Santosh reviewed the party's performance under the 'Seva hi Sanghatan' programme for Covid management. He assessed how we performed as a party and reached out to help people (during the Covid pandemic)," Tanavade told reporters.
