A metallurgical engineer from IIT-Bombay who lost his seat as Chief Minister the last time due to party deserters, Manohar Parrikar looks set to romp home with enough seats to push his policies through in Goa. The 47-year-old chief ministerial candidate of the BJP, known for his clean image and blunt comments, was first elected to the Goa legislative assembly in 1994 from Panjim and has since not stood from any other constituency.
