“We have proved before the people of India, we had support…and we proved it on the floor of house. Everyone voluntarily came and voted, none of them were kept in a hotel room or secluded commonplace as was the case of opposition,” Parrikar told the media after the floor test.
“Wild allegations being made, those with coloured glasses make those allegations,” he added, about the Congress party’s allegations.
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi this morning again alleged the “BJP is stealing the (Goa) government)”.
“In Manipur and Goa, the BJP has used the money to steal the government (from the Congress),” Rahul said in Chandigarh according to ANI. He was speaking to the media after the swearing-in of Amarinder Singh as Punjab chief minister.
