Something wrong in governance in Goa, says CM Parrikar

TIL Desk/National/Goa/ Manohar Parrikar takes charge as the new chief minister of Goa. Parrikar said the Congress defeat and the fact that many ministers lost, indicates there was something wrong in governance in the last 2.5 years. “Let me identify that aspect,” the CM said.

Parrikar, who quit as defence minister, was on Tuesday sworn in as chief minister to head a coalition government of local allies and Independents, three days after the Bharatiya Janata Party ended up second behind the Congress in a fractured mandate. The decks for his swearing-in were cleared after a bench headed by Chief Justice J S Khehar refused to grant the stay on the Congress’ plea and ordered a floor test.

Parrikar returned to Goa as the chief minister for the fourth time, though he could not complete full terms in his earlier stints.

He had formally staked claim to form the coalition government on Sunday, following which he got an invite from Governor Mridula Sinha to prove majority in House.
