 "manohar, parrikar, Manohar Parrikar")
Amid much political name-calling, Manipur Governor Najma Heptulla on Tuesday invited the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to form a government on Wednesday. N Biren Singh would be sworn-in as chief minister in the afternoon.
In Goa, Manohar Parrikar, who had quit as defence minister on Monday, was sworn-in as the chief minister by Governor Mridula Sinha.
The Supreme Court asked the governor of Goa to hold a floor test in the Assembly on Thursday to determine majority. It refused the request of the Congress to hold back the swearing-in of the new government headed by Parrikar.
The Congress protested in the Lok Sabha.
