The 62-year-old left for the the United States on 6 March from Mumbai, where he was undergoing treatment at the Lilavati Hospital for a pancreatic ailment.
Parrikar has not been well since 14 February. He was admitted to the state-run Goa Medical College (GMC) after he complained of stomach pain.
However, the Goa CMO has repeatedly maintained that Parrikar suffers from “mild pancreatitis”.
Earlier, a senior BJP leader had said that Parrikar “is responding positively to the treatment in the US” and will be “coming back to India in the second week of April”.
Before he left for treatment in US, Parrikar formed a team of three ministers from the three parties that are part of the alliance government in the state to function as a Cabinet advisory committee. The team includes Sudin Dhavalikar (Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party), Francis D Souza (BJP) and Vijai Sardesai (Goa Forward Party).
