Manohar Parrikar sworn in as Goa chief minister as Congress sulks

After a brief Holi break, the budget session of Parliament resumed on Tuesday and the issue of government formation in Goa and Manipur rocked the Lok Sabha with the Congress staging a walkout.

Sources said that the leader of Congress in the lower house, Mallikarjun Kharge, along with some other party MPs, will move the motion, while seeking to raise the issue and demand a discussion on it.

The Congress has alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is moving against the law and precedent in forming governments in Goa and Manipur, even though the Congress is the single largest party in both states. Many Congress leaders have said that the single largest party should have been invited by the governors of both states to form the government.
