Panaji, 4th Feb. Utpal Parrikar, son of former Goa CM Manohar Parrikar, on Friday carried out a door-to-door campaign in Panaji for the upcoming Goa assembly elections.
Utpal resigned from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) when denied a ticket from the state capital and filed his candidature as an independent candidate from the Panaji assembly seat.
When questioned about promises made by Bharatiya Janata Party to him before he left the party, Parrikar said, “BJP keeps saying they have given me new assurances. I do not want to say anything to them. People of Panaji will support me.”
“There are many issues. I will be releasing my manifesto in 1-2 days. We have to improve roads, drainage systems and properly execute funds in infrastructure projects. If we do this, the economy of Panjim will be rejuvenated,” said Parrikar.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has fielded Congress party turncoat Atanasio “Babush” Monserrate from the Panaji seat.
Assembly elections will be held in Goa on February 14. The counting of votes will take place on March 10.
