Assam Governor Jagdish Mukhi and Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal Sunday condoled the demise of Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar.
Parrikar, also a former defence minister, died at his private residence near Panaji on Sunday evening. He was 63.
"I am deeply saddened to hear the demise of Manohar Parrikar ji. He was an outstanding leader and best known for his administrative acumen. He contributed immensely to the growth of Goa in particular and the country in general," Mukhi said in a statement.
It is a big loss to the country and will be difficult to fill, the Governor added.
Sonowal said he was saddened to learn about the death of Parrikar.
"A people's leader respected for his humility & immense love for the nation, his passing away has left a huge void in India's public life. My sincere condolences," he wrote on Twitter.
