However, the minister also sympathised with the AAP leader for being on "sick leave".
"In Delhi he speaks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and here (in Goa) he speaks against me. Due to this his tongue has grown big, and now it had to be trimmed," Parrikar said addressing core group of workers in Goa ahead of the State Legislative Assembly polls.
The Defence minister took a dig at the AAP leaders for "abandoning" Delhi when the state was reeling under chikungunya and dengue attack killing 40 people.
"If your Mohalla clinics were so much effective then how come 40 people died due to chikungunya. The lies of AAP are getting exposed in Delhi after the incident," he said.
He said the AAP leaders are currently on world tour after cheating the people of Delhi, with its deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia in Finland.
Referring to sacked Delhi Minister Sandeep Kumar, who was arrested on charges of rape on a complaint of a woman who figured in an objectionable video with him, Parrikar said, "AAP leaders are found exploiting a woman merely to give a ration card."
The woman had alleged that she was raped by Kumar when she had gone to his office in Outer Delhi's Sultanpuri seeking help to obtain a ration card.
Parrikar also quoted a WhatsApp joke making rounds in Delhi circles, which says that Tihar Superintendent has written to Delhi Governor asking to make him the CM as he has majority of AAP MLAs with him (in jail).
