The BJP chief Amit Shah today while addressing a public meeting in Vasco town said that "Goa has given a big asset to the country in Manohar Parrikar. There is a huge demand for Parrikar in Delhi and also here in Goa. The people of Goa demand that we should send Parrikar back to the state".

As per the reports he further added "(Prime Minister) Narendrabhai (Modi) needs him (Manohar Parrikar) at the Centre as well. We will decide after elections where Parrikar will be working. But let me assure you that wherever Parrikar may be working, the Goa government will function under his leadership".

The Goa Assembly elections are scheduled to begin from 4 February.
