The Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar yesterday in the evening during the election campaign in Mormugao constituency said that the Aero show can be shifted to Goa if local people wants.

As per the reports, he said, "The next Aero Show will be hosted in Bangaluru this February. Goa has already successfully organised 'Defence Expo' last year. If local population want, we can shift both the events here including Aero Show".

"When Defence Expo was happening, some people went to media claiming that I am transferring the huge plot to the Defence Ministry. In fact, after the event, the organisers removed all the structures within eight days. After the show, some locals came to me thanking for holding the event which helped them to make money by providing facilities required for such mega event," said the former chief minister of Goa.
