To fulfil the cherished aspirations of the people of the State of Goa, the Chief Minister of Goa had conveyed to the Centre a unanimous decision of the state Cabinet to name the airport ‘Manohar International Airport.
The renaming as Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (MP-IDSA) by the defence minister, who is the President of the Institute, follows the unanimous decision by the general body earlier this year to effect the change in the memory of Parrikar.
After four and a half years in political oblivion, however, Pacheco, a former seamster who specialised in stitching wedding gowns, is now tailoring an electoral comeback with the help of the Congress party, which he joined earlier this month.
The Congress' demand came two days after the Goa Lokayukta recommended an inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against Parrikar's successor and BJP leader Laxmikant Parsekar into the matter.
The Congress has urged the Governor not to dissolve the Assembly and instead invite the party to form the government.
Congress, on the other hand, has said that it is watching the developments and will explore the possibility of forming government in the state.
Goa CM Manohar Parrikar has been shifted to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi on Saturday morning for his follow-up treatment.
A BJP central team is expected to arrive in Goa soon to oversee political developments and speak to its party leaders and allies.
Sources said he is expected to head back to the clinic, after paying his respects to the Ganesh idol at his ancestral residence.
