Parrikar was in Panaji today to take stock of the BJP's preparations for the Goa Assembly elections next year. In a tweet, Modi said: "Have spoken to HM and RM ( raksha mantri or defence minister) on the situation. Although Modi, assisted by Doval, will oversee the Jammu and Kashmir operations, Modi's commandments will have to be executed by Parrikar. Parrikar's remarks about Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, who has had a mouth surgery, did not exactly amuse the BJP. Parrikar has already run up a dispute with Subhash Velingkar, an RSS rebel who broke ranks with the Sangh, alleging the defence minister had made things hard for him.
