The Chief Minister was scheduled to fly to Delhi on Saturday, for his follow-up treatment at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), a senior official had told PTI. He was reportedly flown in at around 10:30 am on a “special flight”, according to a statement from the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO).
Parrikar, 62, is currently undergoing treatment for a pancreatic ailment at a private hospital at Candolim in North Goa.
“Goa CM will reach AIIMS, Delhi at 1 pm today. Amit Shah and Modiji are monitoring the situation in Goa. Portfolios that were with the CM will be distributed among ministers so that administration runs smoothly. Parrikarji will continue to serve as CM”, Michael Lobo, Deputy Speaker of the Goa Assembly had told ANI earlier on Saturday.
Parrikar had returned from the US in the first week of September, following which he was admitted to the hospital in Candolim. Earlier this year, he had undergone a three-month-long treatment in the US.
