Panaji: The most

unexpected

meeting of Goa BJP election incharge Devendra Fadnavis and congress veteran leader Pratapsingh

Rane

has raised eyebrows in political circles.

The meeting between senior Rane, health minister Vishwajit Rane, BJP state president Sadanand Shet Tanavade and Fadnavis went on for around two hours over dinner.

Recently Rane completed 50 years as the member of Goa legislative assembly.

The

visit

of Fadnavis came against the backdrop of BJP eying both the constituencies in Sattari taluka. Senior Rane is representing Poriem constituency whereas junior Rane represent Valpoi constituency.

Speaking to TOI Vishwajit said that it was a courtesy visit and Fadnavis is like a family to them. “There was nothing political about the meeting,” he said

“It was my great honour to have hosted Shri @Dev_Fadnavis Ji (Former CM-Maharashtra) who visited our home to call on my father Shri Pratapsingh Raoji Rane & my mother Smt. Vijayadevi Rane, along with Shri @ShetSadanand l, State President - BJP. An evening well spent!,” Vishwajit tweeted

Fadnavis is on a two day visit to the state to assess the political situation. No sooner did the photos of the meeting surfaced on social media former South Goa MP and BJP general secretary Narendra Sawaikar described the meeting in a tweet as “When experience meets the young!”
