“We want that the new Chief Minister should have all the qualities of Manohar Parrikar. We want the person to be of Parrikar’s level. It would be a plus point if we get a leader above his calibre,” said Rupala, who is currently down in Goa.
On Friday evening, Rupala had one-on-one meetings with BJP’s most likely replacement for Parrikar, Health minister Laxmikant Parsekar in a starred hotel in Panjim. Present at the meeting were BJP
state president Vinay Tendulkar and general secretary
Satish Dhond.
