Goa Forward Chief and TCP Minister Vijai Sardesai on Monday said that Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar will hold a meeting with members of the Cabinet in Delhi after October 10 before taking the decision on the allocation of portfolios to his ministerial colleagues.
Sardesai is also believed to have taken up the with the Chief Minister the formalin row and the trust deficit of the people in the fish sold in the markets, and has favoured a ban on import of fish if that helps to restore public confidence.
The TCP Minister, who called on the ailing Chief Minister at the AIIMS in Delhi on Monday evening, was with Parrikar for around an hour and half between 4.30 pm to 6 pm. He said said the Chief Minister was recovering and had plans to allot the portfolios to his colleagues.
The Chief Minister is believed to have told the TCP Minister that the proposal for the allocation of portfolios should come from the Goa Forward Party before he carefully examines the proposal and decide accordingly. “After the party makes a proposal to the Chief Minister for the allocation of portfolios, the Chief Minister will call for a meeting of members of the Cabinet to discuss the same after October 10 in Delhi after the ongoing inauspicious month,” he said.
