‘I’ve resigned as Goa minister; hope people of Calangute constituency will respect my decision. I’ll also resign as MLA and will see what step to take next’, Lobo said. ‘I don’t see Manohar Parrikar’s legacy being taken forward, those party workers who supported him have been sidelined by BJP.

Whichever party I join, I will ensure that they win maximum seats’, he added.
