Parrikar gets slot in BJP headquaters
HERALD BUREAU
NEW DELHI, APRIL 29
Former Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, who was tipped first as the Bhartiya Janata Party President and later as a general secretary, finally makes it to the party headquarters here as convener of the party’s “Governance Cell.”
This is for the first time that such a cell has been created by the party and BJP President Nitin Gadkari picked up Parrikar, who is now leader of Opposition in the Goa Assembly, to head it in recognition to the quality of governance he provided in Goa as the chief minister.
Parrikar, however, need not be stationed in Delhi as he can come here only when he convenes meetings of his cell or organises some conferences on behalf of the party for charting out plans for providing good governance.
The BJP announcement did not say who all will constitute the governance cell but the party sources said it will be tasked to coordinate with the chief ministers and ministers in the BJP-ruled states or coalition governments with BJP’s participation for providing good governance, the prime motto of the party.
The BJP has altogether 33 other cells catering to different sections of the society, including those for minorities, fishermen, weavers, traders, ex-servicemen, slum dwellers, panchayats, legal, literature, labour, investors. foreign affairs and what not.
