BJP State party president Vinay Tendulkar voiced confidence that about 5,000 party workers from Pernem taluka would attend Defence Minister's Manohar Parrikar 60th birthday.
Addressing a news conference at the Pernem government rest house, Tendulkar expected 40-50,000 party workers from all over Goa to be present at Parrikar's birthday celebrations.
“As it is not possible to invite everyone personally, we are inviting party workers through this news conference. We would request all well-wishers to attend the function,” he said.
Tourism Minister Dilip Parulekar informed that Union Minister Rajnath Singh would also be present at the celebrations.
“Parrikar has been serving in politics for the last 30 years. Besides, he has achieved great heights as an honest person,” he added.
Environment Minister Rajendra Arlekar said supporters from BJP and other parties will be present at the function.
“To attract a great crowd for the function, meetings are being organised at various booth levels,” added Arlekar.
ZP member Arun Bankar, Ramesh Sawal, Vynakatesh Ghodge, Krishna Gawade and Pernem BJP president Daji Kaskar were among those present at the news conference.
