Sidharth Kuncalienker

Manohar Parrikar's son Utpal Parrikar will not make his electoral debut yet. After much discussion, the ruling BJP has decided to field Manohar Parrikar's former aide Sidharth Kuncalienker instead for Panaji, which fell vacant after the death of the former chief minister in March.

A BJP spokesperson on Tuesday likened statements made by state Congress president Girish Chodankar to "WhatsApp crap", slamming the leader of the opposition party for making baseless allegations against the ruling BJP-led coalition government in Goa.
