People made a mistake: Parsekar on fractured mandate in Goa

Parsekar lost from Mandrem constituency to Congress candidate Dayanand Sopte by over 7,000 votes.

The fate of five former chief ministers and present CM Laxmikant Parsekar will be decided in the election.

Goa and Punjab will be the first testing grounds for the BJP government’s much-flaunted demonetisation policy.

This will be Parsekar’s 4th election from Mandrem that returned him consecutively in 2002, 2007 and 2012.

Naik said he is not in the race for the CM’s post, but will “work to the fullest” if asked by the party leadership.

J.P. Nadda said remaining candidates from Punjab would be announced later.

All the procedures for the implementation of seventh pay commission for the state government workers have been completed.
