As far as the preparations go, the BJP had tipped Naik and Savoikar to be their candidates months in advance, much before the party's parliamentary board could formally announce their names.

Savoikar, who is presently the chairman of the state law commission and narrowly lost to the Congress candidate in the 2009 polls, has been canvassing for support for over two years now.

Shripad Naik believes that the last minute nomination of the tainted Ravi Naik has only made his job easier.

"Of course his nomination would help me. People know what all he has done. They will remember that when they cast their vote," Shripad Naik told IANS.

Ravi Naik has been indicted by a legislative committee for his links to Goa's drug mafia.
