Manohar Parrikar to take oath as Goa CM tomorrow

BJP leader Manohar Parrikar will be sworn in as chief minister of Goa on Tuesday.

“I have tendered my resignation as Defence Minister and have sent it to the PMO. I will be taking the oath (as Goa chief minister) tomorrow evening, along with the cabinet ministers,” Parrikar told PTI on Monday.

Asked how many ministers would be sworn in, Parrikar said, “The decision on the number of ministers and other issues are being currently worked out. Once the cabinet is finalised, we will inform the media.”

Governor Mridula Sinha had invited Parrikar to form the government after he staked claim and showed the support of 21 MLAs on Sunday.
