Manohar Parikar appointed new CM of Goa
Parrikar has been asked to prove
majority on the floor of the Goa Legislative
Assembly within15 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.
Digvijaya Singh accuces: on a day the BJP
cobbled up a coalition to stake claim to form the next government in Goa under
Manohar Parrikar, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh accused the Defence Minister
of "hijacking" the popular mandate."It is absolutely wrong on the part of the BJP to grab power when the mandate was given to the Congress by the voters (by virtue of being the single largest party)," AICC General Secretary Digvijaya Singh said.
The BJP has won only 13 seats in the 40-member House as the poll results threw a hung Assembly with the Congress emerging as the single largest party with 17 seats. In 2012 Assembly polls the BJP had won 21 seats.
