Parrikar govt dismissed in Goa

Goa Governor S C Jamir on Wednesday dismissed the Manohar Parrikar-led Bharatiya Janata Party government in the state.

Speaking to reporters at the Raj Bhavan gates, Leader of the Opposition Pratap Singh Rane said the governor has signed an order dismissing the government.

The Congress leaders had rushed to the Raj Bhavan after the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government won the confidence vote.
