Yes I saw this NEWS on TV yesterday that had a caption- Manohar 'Sada' Parriker (meaning simple person Parriker)
Sada means simple. Manohar Parrikar is well known in the political circles as a simple human without false airs.A really exemplary exception.
It is not just now but even earlier when he was the CM of Goa, apparently when he visited Mumbai on official work he would take a taxi from the airport instead of the usual trappings..
Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!
An honest man remains honest for ever. Neither seasons nor times can change his character.
Parrikar has once again proved his simplicity and down to earth nature. Most weddings in which politicians are invited, all the other guests are sidetracked into corners and left fuming while these so-called big shots make their entry amidst blaring horns and sirens and then surrounded by their cohorts, enter the mandap. While these people are present even the bride and groom cannot turn their heads or relax. He surely is leading the way by his simple conduct.
"I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally."

I would say. A politician of this kind can hardly seen in these days of Political Pollution. Hats off to people like Parrikar.
In past thread when there was talk of so called simplicity of life of AAP CM, though now all been exposed, but then we discussed about how gentle life former CM of Goa and if I am correct CM of Tripura Mannik Sarkar are leading. Manohar Parikar used to reach to CM office by walk without using vehicle, such real gentle and down to earth politicians are greatest asset to this nations. Thanks for the link and he was in queue like normal person in that marriage ceremony.

Unfortunately such honest politicians are very less. Their number should increase.
