Update: Manohar Parrikar sworn in as Goa CM

March 14, 2017 17:37

Manohar Parrikar takes oath in Marathi, sworn in as Goa chief minister.
Parrikar has to take a trust vote on Thursday to prove he has a majority, the Supreme Court ruled, in a big setback for the Congress. The BJP was invited to form the government in Goa despite winning fewer seats in the election than the Congress. That decision - taken by Governor Mridula Sinha - was challenged by the Congress in court. The Congress won 17 seats in the election; the BJP won 13, but secured the support of small regional parties.
