The name of Utpal Parrikar, son of former Goa chief minister late Manohar Parrikar, did not figure in the BJP’s list of 34 candidates that it announced on Thursday for the upcoming state assembly polls, although he had sought the party’s candidature from the Panaji constituency. The party said that although Utpal Parrikar was given four other options, he did not accept any of them.
Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday accused the saffron party of adopting a “use and throw policy even with the Parrikar family”. Kejriwal invited Utpal Parrikar to join the AAP and contest the assembly election on its ticket. “Goans feel v sad that BJP has adopted use and throw policy even with Parrikar family. I have always respected Manohar Parrikar Ji. Utpal Ji is welcome to join and fight elections on AAP ticket,” the Delhi Chief Minister said in a tweet minutes after the saffron party announced the list of candidates.
