Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar is being treated at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi since September 15. In order to inquire about his health, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu reached the premier hospital on Sunday.
Naidu spent some time with ailing Parrikar. Taking to Twitter, Naidu wrote, “Met Shri Manohar Parrikar, the Chief Minister of Goa and enquired about his health at AIIMS today. He is one of the most lovable and honest senior politicians of our country. I wish & hope he will get well soon and serve the society as he ever does. #ManoharParrikar”
Parrikar was admitted in the hospital due to his declining health conditions. Recently, he returned to the country after being treated in the United States. Earlier too, Parrikar went to US and was there for almost three months for his treatment.
After returning in September, Parrikar has asked Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah to look for options for the post of CM in Goa, but his request was denied. A couple of days ago Shah had said that Parrikar will remain the CM, but the cabinet will change.
