India Today Editors' Roundtable: Nitin Gadkari reveals how Manohar Parrikar became CM

At the India Today Editors' Roundtable conference, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari unveiled the mystery behind how the BJP turned the table in Goa after failing to win even 15 seats in the Assembly election.

 

Election was held on February 4 for the Goa Assembly. The Congress emerged as the single largest party with 17 seats while the ruling BJP got only 13 seats. But, the BJP went on to form the government amid allegations of horse trading.

 

Responding to a question as to what happened in Goa on the night before the BJP announced Manohar Parrikar's name as the Chief Minister of Goa, Nitin Gadkar narrated the entire sequence of events.
