Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president Girish Chodankar said the party will appreciate if the chief minister unfurled the tricolour on 19 December and delivered the Liberation Day address. “To unfurl the tricolour is a much easier and honourable job than inspecting bridges,” Chodankar said. Earlier in the day, the BJP accused the Congress of politicising the health condition of Parrikar. On Sunday, Parrikar inspected two under-construction bridges on Mandovi and Zuari rivers. This was the first time the chief minister was seen in public since returning to Goa on 14 October post hospitalisation in Delhi’s AIIMS.
