A man can go to any distance for wine, women and food. It has been proved since ages.Our defence Minister Parrikar is one of them.
He is a very simple man, but cannot compromise on Goan food and wine. There were times when he flew to Goa overnight for eating proper food and getting proper drink.
He admits this on his own. The defense officials have warned him about this traveeling to Goa with no proper security. But he ingnored them. He is not enjoying Delhi there is no doubt about it.
Talking about food -Goan Fish Curry over Butter Chicken of course, he said today, also stating that he is a “party man, let the party decide.” He then told reporters, who have had just one question for him for weeks, “I have lost 4 kg in Delhi because of the food. I like Goan food. You can interpret this the way you want.”
Parrikar was chief minister when he was called up for union cabinet duty to New Delhi. He installed in his place loyalist Laxmikant Parsekar, who has struggled to fill Parrikar’s big shoes.
He told the PM Modi about his habits. May be he might return to Goa very soon. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar was an early voter in Goa capital Panaji today. He had queued up before polling booths opened and was done by 7:10 am.
Goa is abuzz with speculation that Parrikar could return to the state as chief minister if the BJP is re-elected. Top BJP leaders like party chief Amit Shah and union minister Nitin Gadkari have while campaigning hinted that a Parrikar comeback is not ruled out. Parrikar has refused to comment on what he calls “mere assumptions” but seems to enjoy handing out abstract statements like he did today.
But he is a sincere man and like by PM and calls Parrikar as one of the Navratnas he has.
