Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar will be the new Chief Minister of Goa after the BJP managed to stitch together an alliance with local parties and independent candidates to form the government in the state,
Parrikar will take oath as Chief Minister on Tuesday evening.
While the development was criticised by opposition parties, many are expressing concerns about him returning to state politics from being defence minister.
Some reactions also pointed out to the question of his replacement after he becomes Goa CM.
Here are some Twitter reactions to the development

Parrikar leaving Defence and becoming CM Goa is like taking Arts after scoring 99.6 in HSC exams

Parrikar going back to Goa is good news in the interest of nation. Already 100s of Congress MPs in BJP, now BJP must import RM too from INC!
