Five members of the legislative assembly joined the split. The new party declared its support to the then [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP)-[[Goa People&#039;s Congress]] government. However, four of the MLAs quickly deserted Sheikh Hassan and joined the BJP, the dominant partner of the then ruling coalition, which came to power in [[Goa]] mainly by splitting up the Congress and other political parties.<br /> <br /> In October 2002 INC(SH) was included in the [[Government of Goa]]. Sheikh Hassan was appointed Minister of Industry and Handicraft and his party colleague [[Prakash Velip]] was appointed minister of cooperation, official languages, among other portfolios.<br /> <br /> In the state elections 2002 Sheikh Hassan Haroon stood as a BJP candidate, and lost. Later, following the anti-Muslim communal riots in [[Curchorem]], Sheikh Hassan moved away from the BJP which was out of power by this time, in early 2006 and cited the [[Curchorem]] violence as the reason for doing so. The current status of INC(SH) is unclear.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Indian National Congress breakaway parties]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Defunct political parties in Goa]]<br /> [[Category:2002 establishments in Goa]]<br /> [[Category:Political parties established in 2002]]<br /> [[Category:Political parties in India]]</div>
