PANAJI: The Congress on Saturday said that it would take up in Parliament the issue of ailing chief minister Manohar Parrikar holding on to his post. Everybody is party to the plunder of the state’s resources”“We continue to say a special session is the only answer,” Surjewala added. “The responsibility starts with Modi and Shah and goes all the way down to the bureaucrats. “A governor who is in cahoots with powers at the Centre and works at the whims and fancy of the BJP rather than working in accordance with the Constitution needs to understand and see the writing on the wall — that the government has lost majority, that there is no government, and that rule by the Constitution has floundered. “Usurpation of power in the name of Manohar Parrikar by unknown and unseen faces who are not elected by the people of Goa to plunder the resources of the state and ensure crippled administration and a paralyzed governance is all that the people get,” he said.He added that as a political party, Congress will play its role as the principal opposition party in the state.He also took aim at the party’s leaders in New Delhi..
