Parrikar sworn-in as new CM in Goa

Sandesh Prabhudesai in Panaji

Bharatiya Janata Party legislature party leader Manohar Parrikar was on Monday sworn in as the new chief minister of a BJP-led coalition government in Goa.

Governor Mohammad Fazal administered the oath of office and secrecy to Parrikar and his 12 cabinet colleagues at a simple ceremony on the lawns of the Raj Bhavan in Panaji.

Of Parrikar's 12 ministers, two belong to the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party, two to the United Goans Democratic Party, and one is an independent.

There are six new faces in the cabinet -- Sudin Dhawalikar and Pandurang Madkaikar of the MGP, Mickky Pacheco and Atansio Monseratte of the UGDP and Vinay Tendulkar and Dayanand Mandrekar of the BJP.

Parrikar is the 17th chief minister Goa.

Speaking to reporters after the swearing-in ceremony, Parrikar said the new government would be more stable.

Though the governor has not specified the need to have a vote of confidence, the assembly needs to meet before June 15 to pass the vote on account. "That itself will be my confidence vote," Parrikar said.
