The dissidents had been unhappy with the finance minister Dayanand Narvekar of the congress.The final decision will be announced after a meeting of the Congress Legislature Party.
As per the statement of the Nationalist Congress Party leader Praful Patel, all NCP and MGP MLAs have decided to support the Government.Mr.Patel was accompanied by the AICC (I) GeneraL Secretary in charge of Goa,B.K.Hari Prasad,PCC chief,a NCP leader and Mr.Rane.
The cabinet would be reshuffled shortly.The crisis arose due to the withdrawl of support by three NCP legislators and an independant MLA to the Goa ministry, reducing it to a minority status.NCP President Pawar has also warned of serious consequenses and stern action if the dissidents violated the directives of party norms.
The AICC suggested that the lobby against the SEZ was the reason for the destabilisation of the Goa Government.
