Panaji: Days after Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) president Girish Chodankar's jibe at ailing Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, another leader has now made an insensitive comment at the Parrikar. Congress leader Reginaldo Lourenco on Saturday said Parrikar should honourably resign or rather give charge to somebody. Talking to ANI, Lourenco said, “I'm not here to dictate terms, his party will dictate terms to him. But don’t go to assembly with that pipe in the nose, all things coming out from your pocket. It doesn’t suit you.”

As a leader, he should have some class. It is his own leadership quality which shows that what sort of a person he is. A leader who is not determined," Lourenco further said.

He also advised Parrikar to take a decision and urged him to not come to assembly with health apparatus on his body.

“With that sort of a situation, with a tube in your nose, where you have things coming out of your pocket, it does not suit you," Lourenco said.

Earlier, Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) president Girish Chodankar had said that Parrikar should come back to "hosh" before speaking about "josh". Reacting to Chodankar, Parrikar, before presenting the budget said he was fully in "hosh" and added that his "josh" was very high.

The Congress has been demanding that it should be allowed to form the government in the state and claimed that Parrikar's illness and inability to attend office was taking a toll on day-to-day affairs of the state.
