Panaji: State President of BJP Sadanand Shet Tanavade on Sunday crashed into the son of the Defense Minister Union Parrrikar, and said that it was Parrika himself, like CM, which in 2002 made the ‘Babush’ Monser Minister in his cabinet.
Tanavade said that former CM always worked with party interest in mind, and that BJP worked in the framework of its values.
Tanavade reacted to Utpal’s resignation from BJP into the contest from the seat of his father Panaji as independent in the upcoming February 14 poll.
Utpal said that the main objection was to become a Monserrade to get a BJP ticket from Panaji despite having several criminal cases delayed by him.
“I don’t want to comment on what Utpal said.
Our respect is for Manohar Parragar,” Tanaavade said, when asked about Utpal’s statement that he was willing to withdraw from the race to Panaji as independent if the party gave a ticket to the ‘clean’ candidate.
“If we have learned something at the party about ethics and compromise, it’s from Manohar Parragar,” Tanaavade said.
“If you recall, when MANOHAR PARRIRAR becomes CM in 2002, Monserrate is part of his cabinet.
Then, in 2017, when the government under the Parragar was formed, Monserrate was made by the PDA chairman.” Tanavade said that Parrika always knew “the importance of ethics and Compromise in politics “.
“Even though he never compromised on the principles, maybe a lot of decisions also didn’t suit his wishes.
However, he always compromises when party flowers are involved.
He does what is best for a party, even if it means he must take a step back at times, “He said.
