The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) today demanded resignation of Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar over his remarks regarding beef consumption.

VHP leader Dr Surendra Jain said that Parrikar was spoiling the image of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The criticism comes after Parrikar said in the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday that there will be no shortage of beef in Goa and that if needed it could take help from neighbouring state Karnataka.

In his scathing tweet VHP leader Jain asked that has the BJP become Beef Joy Party? adding that Parrikar should resign soon to wash the face of BJP.

In a series of tweets, Jain asked if the CM was unaware about the law prohibiting the slaughtering of cows in Karnataka and Goa.

On Tuesday, while speaking at the Legislative Assembly, Parrikar added that production of 2,000 kilograms of beef is done every day from Goa Meat Complex, the only legal abattoir in Ponda state.

Parrikar was slammed by Congress soon after. Congress leader Rajiv Shukla asked if he was drunk and added that it was ironical.
