The Supreme Court will hear tomorrow Congress' plea challenging the swearing-in of Manohar Parrikar as Goa chief minister.

The Congress had challenged Parrikar's appointment as the Goa CM, claiming that being the single largest party in the state, the governor should have called it first to form a government.

The petition by the party terms the governor's decision as 'illegal'.

The party has also questioned the governor's 'conduct' in inviting Parrikar to form the government. -- ANI
