Festive mood at Goa BJP office as Parrikar joins Modi Cabinet
Panaji : A giant screen was propped up outside BJP party office in Goa, where party workers, BJP corporators and former Goa CM Manohar Parrikar’s personal staff, sat huddled together since noon.
Around 1.30 pm, as Parrikar appeared on screen for his swearing-in, the still of the sleepy Sunday street was broken by the crowds that leapt off their chairs boisterously cheering, distributing sweets and lighting fire-crackers. “It is a very mixed feeling for us. Yesterday we were sad that he is abruptly leaving Goa, today we feel proud to see him being inducted
“It is a very mixed feeling for us. Yesterday we were sad that he is abruptly leaving Goa, today we feel proud to see him being inducted into the Modi cabinet,” said Sheetal Naik, 32-year-old BJP corporator from Panaji.
BJP Shailesh Ugadekar, Parrikar’s personal secretary of 14 years who had also assembled outside the BJP office to join the celebrations, said that the former CM has decided to not take any of his personal staff with him to Delhi, at least for the moment.
“For now we have been told to stay back to assist Goa’s new CM Laxmikant Parsekar. Parrikar used to work from 8 am to 11 pm daily not even taking a break during holidays or festivals. Already there is a gaping hole with him gone, if his staff is taken away from here, he feels there will be a complete void,” said Ugadekar.
