Senior Congress leader Pratapsingh Rane, who served as Goa CM six times, has withdrawn from the contest in the upcoming state polls.
He was pitted against BJP candidate and his daughter-in-law Deviya Rane in the Poriem constituency.
"Being the head of the family, somebody needs to take a mature decision," Rane said. Subsequently, Congress fielded Ranjeet Rane from the seat.
