Ahead of the Goa Polls, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on February 09 said that no one can fill the void left by former Chief Minister of Goa Manohar Parrikar as he was a tall and important leader.

“Void left by Manohar Parrikar will always be felt as he was a tall and important leader but Pramod Sawant has done good work on the path shown by him. Due to his guidance, Pramod Sawant has achieved success in Goa. I am happy about it,” said Nitin Gadkari. “Rahul Gandhi says things as he's in Opposition. But our foreign policy is correct and has been successful. Under the leadership of PM Modi, for the first time, India is making a mark before world. Rahul Gandhi will never accept it, he does politics of opposing,” he added.
