Manohar Parrikar will be missed everyday by the BJP leadership. He was an inspiration to cancer patients. I have lost several family members to cancer but I have never seen any final stage cancer patient work his heart out till the last day of his life#WeMissManoharParrikar pic.twitter.com/g5BgHbyzKD
