Parsekar says successor will be decided if Parrikar is called to Delhi

MARGAO: Health Minister Laxmikant Parsekar has said that every Goan should be proud if the Centre wants to induct Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar as the Defence Minister.

He, however, said that the party leadership will take a call on Parrikar’s successor in the State if the Centre calls the Chief Minister to Delhi.
When the media sought to know whether he would be one of the prospective BJP leaders to take over the CM’s mantle in the event Parrikar is inducted in the Modi Cabinet, Parsekar dodged the question, saying he has been a soldier of the party, having accepted many responsibilities in his political career.
