TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ As former Goa chief minister late Manohar Parrikar’s son Utpal Parrikar has been denied a ticket by the Bharatiya Janata Party, Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal has said that Utpal Parrikar’s son is welcome to join and fight elections on AAP ticket.
“Goans feel v sad that BJP has adopted use and throw policy even with Parrikar family. I have always respected Manohar Parrikar ji. Utpal ji is welcome to join and fight elections on AAP ticket,” Kejriwal tweeted.
His tweet came after Utpal Parrikar was excluded from BJP’s list of candidates for Goa elections. Sources said the BJP, on the other hand, is still trying to convince Utpal Parrikar to contest on the party’s ticket. Efforts to even talk to his family are on.
