Parrikar, after being diagnosed with the ailment, was admitted to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai on February 15 and was discharged on February 22.

He returned to Goa the same day and presented the Budget in the assembly, but the session was truncated to only four days owing to his illness.

The chief minister went to Mumbai again on March 5 for his further check up from where he was referred to the US.

He had left for the US on March 7.

Before leaving Goa, Parrikar had formed a cabinet advisory committee to guide the state administration on governance and other issues, in his absence.

He has been monitoring the affairs of the state from the US. -- PTI
