Manohar Parrikar appointed as new Goa Chief Minister

Panaji, Mar 12 (Agencies): Goa Governor Mridula Sinha on Sunday appointed Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar as the new Chief Minister of Goa.

Parrikar has been asked to prove majority on the floor of the Goa Legislative Assembly "15 days after administration of oath of office and secrecy", a letter issued by Secretary to the Governor Rupesh Kumar Thakur said.

The letter said that Parrikar had submitted evidence of support of 21 MLAs before the Governor.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has 13 MLAs, is supported by three legislators each of the Goa Forward Party and the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party and two Independent legislators.

According to Union Minister for Roads, Transport, Highways and Shipping Nitin Gadkari, Parrikar will resign as Defence Minister before he takes oath of office as Goa Chief Minister.

Parrikar on Sunday evening had met Goa Governor Mridula Sinha, with MLAs of the BJP and other parties, to stake claim to form the government.

The BJP in Goa had on Sunday unanimously passed a resolution electing Parrikar as the legislature party leader.

The Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) had said that it would support the BJP in the state in its efforts to form a government, only if Parrikar was made the Chief Minister.

The BJP has 13 MLAs in Goa after the results of the Assembly elections were announced on Saturday. On Sunday, Parrikar met the Governor with the BJP MLAs, 3 MLAs of MGP, 3 Goa Forward Party MLAs and 3 Independent MLAs, thus taking its number up to 22 in the 40-member Assembly.

Speaking about the developments, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said to ANI, “MGP and Goa Forward Party said during our discussions that only if Manohar Parrikar becomes Goa CM candidate, then we will support BJP.”

However, he added, ”Parrikar will have to resign as Defence Minister before becoming Goa CM, but he has not done it yet”.

“This is a mandate given by the people, though we fell short of majority. Together we have completed the magic figure of 21,” Parrikar said addressing the media later.

“We met the Governor, and we are expecting an invitation. Once we receive it, we will consult our colleagues and decide the date for swearing in,” Parrikar added.

The Congress, which won 17 seats in Goa, will thus once again have to sit in the Opposition, after doing so from 2012 to 2017.

Fact of the mater is Mr. Pariker is suffocated working with Mr. Modi. As it is known that Mr. Modi works like a Dictator and his cabinet people have hardly any say on anything. Nothing else! so he wants to run away from Delhi or else what was the need for him to come down to Goa ? de-promoting himself ?

Mr Parrikar commands so much respect from MLAs even Congress MLAs did not want to oppose him.There was no protest by anyone from Congress. Congress MLAs did not want anyone from the party to become CM. Mr Digamabar Kamath does not enjoy support from his own part. Mr Parrikkar is like a consensus choice from both BJP, Congress and other small parties.

Mr.Lewis,Mr.Sri,Mr Anirudh

Sirs,Absolute majority is good for the progress of the country. NDA or BJP emerging with coalition partners is nothing but hard bargain.

People's mandate need to be respected by all parties. This is the basis of healthy democracy.

Any defection after the poll results announced is against the citizens verdict. This pure breach of 'anti defection law'.
I propose 'Association of democratic reforms' to bring a law which bars elected candidates to crossover to any party for minimum of 5 years. No merger should be allowed even 2/3 rd of majority crossover to form any party or to form new party. In such that case state should be under President's rule with District commissioner will be in charge with weekly reporting to the Governor. No immediate family members of the defected candidate is allowed to contest until complete tenure of the government.

Also I would like to propose no former militant or organisation which acted against the sovereign of India by death and destruction should be allowed to contest an elections. Communalism should be equally treated as anti nationals.

Finally, If quota is allocated in other fields, it should also implemented on political parties.
India can't usher good beginning unless inclusive of all section of the societies. BJP which failed to honour Muslims in particular in UP signals PM Modi develope India by 2022 with minority Muslims treated second class citizen as stated by RSS Gururji's.

The Goa Governor has appointed someone as the Chief Minister who is not even the member of the legislative assembly, who belongs to the party which fell significantly short of majority, was not even the single largest party, and whose CM lost elections from both constituencies he contested from. All this happening within 24 hours of election results been announced! Giving him 15 days to prove majority. Why 15 days? Doesn't that means the BJP has not secured majority support until now? Are you giving 15 days to lure or coerce support?

The people of Goa have said “please leave”. The BJP should honour it.

BJP's C.M has lost, 15 of their 21 MLAs have lost, 7 of their 12 ministers have lost, 3 Independents backed by them have lost.

When majority of your minister lose, it means that BJP has failed in administration and even a 'SLEEPING' Parrikar is INCOMPETENT as seen during his stint as a Defence Minister.

One thing is certain this back door entry won't last long.

Ramesh,

why congress didnt meet governer? i give u answer.

in Punjab Capt. Amarinder is CM - no role of RG. and capt. Amarinder will not allow RG to state.

In case if they want to form govt i Manipur and Gao, Rahul gandhi should visit state and start negotiation with other parties. have to select CM, cabinet.

many headache.... it will delay his pre planned lavish tour (with Pata kurtha)

y much much?

All congress & AAP sympathizers, please reply to Lewis Antony Mangalore' s post in this forum.

For more than two decades, whenever BJP emerged as single largest party, all dongi's prevented BJP coming to the power by joining hand together (even with muslim league, communists etc) giving only one excuse like "to prevent communal forces".

In Delhi also they supported AAP to prevent BJP.

Even in UP, just before counting Akilesh said he will not hesitate to join with BSP to prevent BJP coming to power.
Now BJP is not untouchable to anyone. Even congress MLA's are ready to support BJP. BJP paying congress with same coin.

I really feel pity for the congi's like Perinje/SMR/ Flavian, sampath etc. "Maadiddu Unno Maharaya." Practice before you preach. Or ask Congress to handover BBMC to BJP and then leave GOA/ Manipur for them! hahaha

Welcome to the party my friend.
Er ol marre, suddhi ijji.
By the by, Goa people dint give a Bag packing result as you claim. What happend in Punjab, Uttarakand & UP are bag packing result to the incumbent Govts. Manipur and Goa is a split verdict, or in other words, Hung assembly. People over there are confused whether to opt a frying pan or fire. What more options Goa have ? Presidents Rule ? thats again BJP rule in another form.

The verdict of Goa is due to internal splits in BJP after Parikar left Goa & lighthandness of BJP high command at the time of election sue to concentration in UP. Had Parikar was brought back to Goa may be 3 months back, result would have been different. BJP is in power , so its obvious independents will support BJP. Everything is as per law, nothgin is undemocratic. Seems like you forgot Congress-JDS Bhai Bhai for BBMP despite BJP being the single largest party, why Kolaveri D now ? Everything is fair in Politics. Take a chill pill.

This is an attempt to nullify and subvert the voters' mandate to end casino rule in Goa.

Why do you hold elections if peoples wishes are not respected?. BJP should declare Presidents rule and rule whole India by force. These politicians have no self respect or decency.

Remember? In 1996 Lok Sabha, BJP was the single largest party with 161 MPs. But Congress made Deve Gowda a PM, while Janata Dal had only 79 MPs!

Remember? In BBMP 2015, Bengaluru, BJP won 100 out of 198 wards. A majority! Still Congress used resort politics to steal the Mayor post.

Remember? In 2004 Karnataka, seats were - 81 BJP, 63 Cong and 48 JDS. How did Congressis get CM post?

Tonight the same Congressisis are crying that BJP is forming a government in Goa! They are talking of "single largest party"!

SMR and others you forgot what had happened in 1996. When BJP emerged as single lqargest party all others who got 10 to 15 seats got together and ran the govnt at the centre. Did they have people's mandate then? Other day SP and BSP was planning to come together after exit polls when they realised BJP will be single largest party in UP. fortunately BJP came out winning. So conveniently you forget everything that happened. Remember DelhI in 2013. AAP formed govt with Congress help. Did they have mandate? Did you question then? They why now

The moment Dongis want to open their mouth about this new development Am sure recent BBMP results and aftermath will haunt them. Seems like its become a habit now to Dongis to loose it all. "kaige bandha thuthu baaige barlilla".

He was a very bold defense minister.
His position cannot be filled very easily for sure...

So that means congress has been reduced to 1 out of 5 states

What BJP is attempting is nothing but a coup against people’s mandate. Is this a party of morals? They’ve been defeated and yet it is indulging in horse-trading by promising ministries like distributing sweets.”

Starting with Karnataka under former CM Yeddyurappa 'operation kamala' became much suited weapon for poaching opposition party it may be Northeastern state or Goa wherever numbers fall short.

Is BJP a National democracy of Horse trading or National democratic front?

Now people started respecting democracy and mandate ! haha, How they forgot what happened in BMC election Bangalore? Who got more number of seats and who took over BMC with the help of JDS?
People must practice and preach.

Good move by BJP, Tit for Tat. Moreover BJP got more % of votes than any other party in Goa. Go ahead and try to form the Government.

One who don't follow the rules cant cry foul. It is vice versa, if you think what congress did was un democratic, definitely this one is also un democratic. But you cant apply different rules at different time as per your convenience,
