Parrikar using illness to gain sympathy: Congress


Panaji, Jan 31 (IANS): The Goa unit of the Congress on Thursday accused ailing Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar of using his illness to gain sympathy.

In a tweet, Goa Congress spokesperson Sidhanath Buyao also accused Parrikar of leaking his letter to Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday.

"CM @manoharparrikar your leaked letter to @RahulGandhi states that you are fighting with life-threatening illness. So please take rest for better(ment) of Goy, Goykar, Goykarponn (Goa, Goan, Goanness). Are you using your illness to gain sympathy? Isn't this power hungry politics?" Buyao said in his tweet.

Parrikar and Gandhi publicly exchanged letters to each other on Wednesday, in which the former accused the Congress President of drawing political mileage from a courtesy visit paid to the Chief Minister on Tuesday.

The Chief Minister also said that during the courtesy meeting, no reference to the Rafale deal was made, accusing Gandhi of giving a political twist to the affair.

    Was the letter even written by Parrikar? I am sure, it was written and leaked intentionally by Chor Modi and his gang.

    Prakashp, Mumbai — please don't talk about patriotism by chaddis! Your patriotism is only for power and is well displayed in this article https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=557954 How come chaddis have not called for sedition charges to be framed on those who insult the Father of the Nation and the Nation? Is that your patriotism — letting terrorists enact the killing of the Father of the Nation! Shame on you for even mentioning patriotism — you don't have an inkling about what patriotism means!!!

    Who else, than BJP supporters will know the definition of patriotism ? For them, Ghodse gave independence. As a honour to Ghodse, they will kill Gandhiji again and again, as a saffron clad woman did it in Aligarh recently !
