“I will give an appointment that I will convey, and I will tell the Panaji people about my vision and they will choose me,” Utpal said, adding that Manifesto will be released soon.
He said he would try to meet everyone in Panaji during the campaign.

MANOHAR Parragar represents Panaji for more than two decades since 1994.
After he increased until the position of Defense Minister Uni in 2014, BJP had lowered Aide Parragar Sidharth Kuncalienkar, who won a seat for BJP.
