On the BJP offering him three seats other than Panaji for next week's election, Parrikar (41), a businessman, said the fight was "never for options".
Utpal Parrikar quit the BJP to contest the Panaji assembly seat as an independent candidate. He says this is not about being an MLA, but to carry forward the values of his father Manohar Parrikar.
Utpal Parrikar had marked his disappointment over not being issued the ticket from Panaji, the seat which his father had represented in the Goa assembly.
