PANJIM: Attacking BJP for retaining an “ailing” Manohar Parrikar as Goa Chief Minister, Shiv Sena on Tuesday criticised the “cruel and inhuman politics” of the BJP and alleged the party was scared to lose the State.
Running the government by retaining Parrikar as the chief minister is not just an injustice to Goa but to him as well. “Forcibly thrusting the post on him is cruel and inhuman politics,” Shiv Sena said in an editorial in the party mouthpiece ‘Saamana’.
“Stress is not good for his current fragile (health) condition, but who will explain this to the BJP high command? They are more scared about losing the State than of Parrikar’s health. Their motive is that Goa should remain on the winning map of the BJP,” it said.
In March, Goa Shiv Sena spokesperson Rakhi Prabhudesai Naik had demanded President’s Rule in the State.
