Manohar Parrikar is back in charge of his home state of Goa. After taking oath as Chief Minister today, he derided the Congress, which unsuccessfully asked the Supreme Court to stop his swearing-in ceremony this evening.
"The Supreme Court gave Congress a phatkaar (strong rebuke)," Mr Parrikar, 58, told NDTV.
On the orders of the top court, Mr Parrikar will take a trust vote on Thursday at 11 am. To remain Chief Minister, he has to win 21 of 40 votes. That should not be a problem. The Congress won 17 seats, the BJP 13, and two regional parties, Congress Forward and the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party or MGP won three each. Both have committed support to Mr Parrikar in writing. In return, five of their legislators have been made ministers in his government. Independent legislators have chipped in to help Mr Parrikar claim 22 legislators are on his side
