My temperament is not of a central leader: Goa CM Parrikar

He, however, said that taking up the job at the Centre would also depend on circumstances at that particular point of time, when he receives such an offer.  “For example, if there is a India-Pakistan war and I am called to play a role at the Centre, I will rush there the next minute because nation would be requiring me,” he said.  

Describing BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi as a “pragmatic leader”, the Goa Chief Minister urged people not to be influenced by campaigning of people who does not want the Gujarat leader to be the PM of the nation.
