The Deputy Speaker and BJP MLA from Calangute constituency, Michael Lobo on Tuesday said that despite Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar’s health conditions, he will continue in office for as long as he is alive and the alliance government will continue to exist as long as CM Parrikar is in the chair.
Lobo made this statement while speaking to the media on the sidelines of an event organised by a village panchayat of Calangute.
According to Lobo, “Parrikar is a person who will never want to rest. Till he is alive in this world, I do not think he will leave his chair. He will continue working for the people of Goa.”
“As long as his mind is working, he can give instructions to officers. I think this government will continue,” Lobo added.
He further informed, “With a disease like pancreatic cancer, you cannot be stable all the time.”
Lobo also said that his father suffered from the same ailment and in the Chief Minister Parrikar’s case “everything is in the hands of God”.
“So I feel that right now, at this time, he is trying his level best to do his job,” Lobo added.
He further said the if something happens to him, then we will see at that particular time what needs to be done.
It may be recalled that the outspoken Calangute MLA had made many comments that were critical in nature about the BJP-led government in Goa, especially after the Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar’s ailment was made public.
