Manohar Parrikar’s son has been disenchanted with current BJP leadership, which is likely to deny him ticket
All non-BJP parties must support the late BJP leader and former Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar’s son Utpal Parrikar should the latter decides to contest the coming Goa Assembly election, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said on Monday.
Taking a jibe at the current State BJP leadership under Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, Mr. Raut, in a tweet, said that if all Opposition parties in the State supported Mr. Utpal’s putative candidature from Panaji by not fielding any candidate against him, then it would be “true tribute” to the late Parrikar.
Mr. Utpal has been deeply disenchanted with the present BJP leadership which, according to political grapevine, is expected to deny him a ticket in the election slated for February 14.
