Panaji: In a high-tension political drama in Goa, the Goa Governor S C Jamir has dismissed the Manohar Parrikar Government.

The decision comes minutes after Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar won a no- confidence vote on the floor of the Assembly by a narrow margin of one vote.

Soon after the vote of confidence ended, the Opposition Congress legislators rushed to the Governor and sought his intervention to dismiss Parrikar Government.

Further details are awaited.
