"I had not got any opportunity to meet Vajpayeeji in the five years. It was my wish to take his blessings," Parsekar said, who met the veteran leader in New Delhi on Sunday.
The former Prime Minister has been ailing for quite sometime.
"Since, he is unwell no one is allowed to meet him. But after I took oath (as chief minister) I strongly felt that I should seek his blessings," he added.

"Modiji was busy with his appointments and he has asked me to meet him after 15 days," Parsekar said.
