Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Thursday said that although the opposition initially dubbed him as an "accidental CM", he proved his mettle by heading the state in the "most crucial" situations and ensured its progress. Sawant, who became the chief minister for the second straight term after the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) victory in Assembly elections held in February this year, called 2022 a "very special" year as it established his leadership.
