Panchayat Minister Mauvin Godinho remembering late Manohar Parrikar on his birth anniversary on Sunday said that the former chief minister was the tallest leader of Goa.
"What he has achieved, no other political leader has ever achieved whether at the centre or the state. He has been an illustrious son of Goa, the most successful chief minister and a true performer. Even looking at his say in the state, he was offered the defence ministry by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and he proved his mettle at the Centre as well. We all know that Parrikar was the defence minister when the US President visited India and most importantly during the surgical strike that changed the narrative of India as a country in the international arena," said Godinho.
Godinho said that choosing of Modi as campaign manager for BJP had happened in Goa at the behest of late Manohar Parrikar.
"This happened because Parrikar took the initiative and saw that everyone backed him to the hill and that created history for a party which is today the largest democratic party in the world," said Godinho.
