The Goa Forward Party (GFP), an alliance partner of the ruling BJP, said Thursday it does not favour leadership change in Goa, but the ailing Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar should delegate powers to other ministers. "We have never stressed leadership change. We are the ones who installed Parrikar as chief minister and we are with him always," GFP chief and state minister Vijai Sardesai said. Parrikar (62), who is admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi, spoke to Sardesai over telephone this afternoon to discuss a certain administrative matter, an official said.

The CPI (M) Thursday termed the ordinance on triple talaq as an "undemocratic step", saying it cannot be accepted and Parliament should adopt a revised legislation. The party said the BJP has brought out the ordinance so as to serve its political interests. The CPI (M) Politburo said the ordinance promulgated by the government is "uncalled for" and is motivated by considerations other than that of the welfare of Muslim women.
