His comment came following media reports which quoted him as saying that he is planning to retire as he will turn 60 on December 13.
"My statement has been misinterpreted and twisted. I did not make any such statement on retirement," he said.
Parrikar, who has served as Goa Chief Minister thrice, tweeted, "At the age of 60, normally people think of retirement and perhaps I would have also. But I had to take bigger responsibilities at Centre & I assure you that I will come back only after finishing the task I am given".
