Jesus built bridges, not walls. You need to build bridges. Manohar Parrikar is a person who builds bridges,&#8221; Mr Sardesai said during a congratulatory motion moved by BJP legislator Rajesh Patnekar in the state assembly. He was referring to the Manohar Parrikar-led government&#8217;s successful completion of a new cable-stayed bridge called Atal Setu, inaugurated on January 27.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sardesai, however, did not cite the exact Biblical verse from which he had drawn the quote.<\/p>\n<p>The legislator then went on to say that Mr Parrikar builds metaphorical bridges too, in terms of connections with people and organisations. &#8220;Besides technological marvels, Manohar Parrikar builds bridges with people who are positive,&#8221; he claimed.<\/p>\n<p>The 63-year-old BJP politician is suffering from a pancreatic ailment, for which he will be flown to New Delhi&#8217;s All India Institute of Medical Sciences this evening for a regular health check-up. &#8220;He is expected to remain there for the next four days,&#8221; a senior official in the Chief Minister&#8217;s Office said.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, Mr Parrikar had presented the budget in the house with a tube inserted through his nose. &#8220;I am presenting the budget in josh. The josh that is too high, very high, and fully in hosh,&#8221; he had said then.<\/p>\n<p>The Congress, however, was not convinced. &#8220;During his seven-minute speech, Parrikar used words like josh and hosh. However, it is clear from Parrikar&#8217;s body language and the kind of budget he tabled that he has neither,&#8221; said party spokesperson Ramakant Khalap, urging him to give away key portfolios such as finance, home and planning to his colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PANAJI: Goa Agriculture Minister Vijai Sardesai today quoted the Bible to liken ailing Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar to none other [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":468,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[271,272,270],"result":[],"election_2018":[],"class_list":["post-467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","tag-atal-setu","tag-goa-agriculture-minister-vijai-sardesai","tag-manohar-parrikar"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=467"},{"taxonomy":"result","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/result?post=467"},{"taxonomy":"election_2018","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myvotemyindia.in\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/election_2018?post=467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
