Only BJP can bring stability to Goa, no MLA wanted to support Congress, said CM Manohar Parrikar
After being sworn in as the Goa Chief Minister for a fourth term on Tuesday, Manohar Parrikar said that the BJP alone, not the Congress, could bring stability to the state and rubbished the Congress' charge that the BJP's coming to power was immoral.
He now has to take the trust vote on Thursday (March 16) to prove he has the support of the majority to run the government.
