Ailing Parrikar says he will return in few weeks

The message was played during Shah's address to BJP workers near here,

Shah told the gathering of around 15,000 BJP workers at Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Stadium that he had conversed with Parrikar over phone and the latter had inquired about the Karnataka polls. "When I called him (Parrikar), just after initial 'namaskar' he asked me about the Karnataka elections. Despite being in the USA for treatment, Parrikar is concerned about the party, which is a symbol of a true worker," Shah said. "I told Parrikarji to take care of his health...BJP will have full majority in Karnatka," he said.
