Manohar Parrikar to campaign during Goa Assembly polls

“Secondly, when any politician is from any part, he has to meet his own people. Some people feel that I should not be coming here because their chances of getting elected reduces,” he said.

“I feel that any politician will always keep contact with voters,” the former Goa chief minister said.

Parrikar said as a Defence Minister he gets briefings in morning, afternoon and evening.

“I can speak on phone. I go around the country also. I travel everywhere. I cannot be in Delhi all the time. I attend every matter (related to my portfolio).

“During election, definitely my role will be there for victory of BJP. BJP government is sure to be in saddle with better performance and support from the people,” Parrikar added.

Goa goes to poll next year.
