Ahead of the Goa Assembly elections, Shiv Sena has extended support to former Union minister Manohar Parrikar’s son, Utpal Parrikar, who could fight as an Independent candidate from Panaji, after struggling to get a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket in Goa.
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Monday, 17 January, extended support to Parrikar, adding that all non-BJP should “support his candidature and not field a candidate against him”.
