His prolonged absence from Goa has invited criticism from the opposition and the civil society who have demanded that he should resign in order to make way for a fully-fit Chief Minister who could efficiently discharge his official duties.
Several top BJP leaders as well as the Chief Minister s Office have however maintained that Parrikar is suffering from a pancreas-related health ailment and his health is improving.
