Panaji: Four ministers, including Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sardesai and an Independent, have been sacked from the Goa Ministry paving the way for the inclusion of Congress defectors into the Cabinet.”The Governor of Goa is pleased to accept the recommendation of Chief Minister, that Vijay Sardesai, Rohan Khaunte, Vinod Paliencar, and Jayesh Salongakar shall cease to be the Members of Council of Minister headed by the Chief Minister with immediate effect,” said a Raj Bhavan statement.This development comes as 10 Congress MLAs switched sides to join BJP and some of them would be inducted into the Cabinet at a swearing-in ceremony later in the day. Along with three Congress defectors, BJP Leader Michael Lobo, who resigned from the post of Deputy Speaker, will also join the cabinet as a minister.
