Congress leader Shantaram Naik today said his party does not intend to pull down the BJP government in Goa in view of the current political environment in the coastal state, but if the Parrikar dispensation collapses on its own, the grand old party "will not shirk from its responsibility of taking over".
Last month, he had claimed that with Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar remaining indisposed since February 15, the state is in complete crisis and the administration is on the verge of collapse.
On whether the Congress intended to form government in Goa considering the political environment in the state, the former MP said, "If the (BJP-led) government collapses on its own, we will not shirk from our responsibility of taking over."
