New Delhi: Overcoming the Congress challenge and a petition in the Supreme Court, Manohar Parrikar was on Tuesday evening sworn in as the Chief Minister of Goa.
The BJP, even though it finished second in the elections with 13 seats, claimed the support of 21 MLAs and was thus given the first go at government formation.
Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court cleared the decks for oath taking of Manohar Parrikar as the Chief Minister of Goa.
The apex court at the same time directed conducting of the floor test on Thursday.
The top court said it was "satisfied" that all the sensitive and contentious issues raised in the petition by Goa Congress Legislative Party (CLP) leader Chandrakant Kavlekar "can be resolved by a simple direction of holding a floor test".
