Shiv Sena threatens agitation if Goa doesn t get full-fledged CM
Panaji June 2 (IANS) The Shiv Sena on Saturday threatened to start a statewide agitation within a month if Goa doesn t get a full-fledged Chief Minister to replace the ailing Manohar Parrikar. The CM is currently under treatment for pancreatic cancer in a US hospital.
"How can a state continue to function like this in absence of a Chief Minister. There are so many urgent issues including the resumption of the mining industry which need to be tackled " party s state President Jitesh Kamat said at a press conference in Panaji on Saturday.
"If the Bharatiya Janata Party does not appoint a full-fledged Chief Minister within a month from now the Shiv Sena will launch a statewide agitation in protest " added Kamat.
He also said that President s Rule should be imposed in the state until a new Chief Minister is appointed.
The Congress in Goa has already resolved to meet President Ramnath Kovind to impress upon the Central government to appoint a Chief Minister at the earliest.
Parrikar was shifted to the US for treatment in March 2018 a month after he was first admitted to a Mumbai hospital for stomach pain which was subsequently diagnosed as pancreatic cancer.
Before leaving for the US Parrikar had appointed a cabinet advisory committee comprising of three Ministers which the Congress as well as the Shiv Sena has claimed is unconstitutional.
