MARGAO
Himachal Pradesh governor Rajendra Arlekar on Sunday said the biggest tribute one can pay to former chief minister late Manohar Parrikar is to follow in his footsteps and to emulate his qualities.
After inaugurating a photo exhibition on the life of the late former chief minister by senior journalist Arvind Tengse at the Ravindra Bhavan, Margao, Arlekar said it’s difficult to speak on the former chief minister, who himself was not a big orator, but had proved himself with action.
“One way to pay tributes to Manohar Parrikar is by following in his footsteps and emulating his good qualities. We have been very close friends since our days in the RSS before all of us started work in the BJP”, he said.
Saying that he cannot at this moment outline the achievements of Manohar Parrikar for the state, Arlekar, however, said the coming generation will know the true worth of the actions and decisions taken by the former Chief Minister.
“People now speak of the achievements of former Chief Minister Dayanand Bandodkar and his contribution to Goa. Similarly, the future generation will remember Parrikar for his immense contribution to the state and its people”, he said.
Chairman of Ravindra Bhavan, Margao Damu Naik also paid tributes to the former Chief Minister, saying late Manohar Parrikar had been a great visionary.
