Parrikar may not present budget, Assembly Session likely to be curtailed

18 Feb 2018 08:43 PM

There has been a lot of speculation over Chief Minister’s health and through various modes of communication rumours are being spread. Later in the Lilavati hospital where Chief Minister is currently undergoing the treatment issue an official statement denying all the rumours.



Lilavati hospital issued a statement that Chief Minister has been receiving well to the treatment.  The statement says and we quote:

“It has been brought to our notice, through various malicious and misleading reports/rumors are floating around in the Electronic/Print media with regards to the health of the Hon Chief Minister of Goa. We categorically deny all such rumours. We reiterate that Hon. Chief Minister of Goa is being treated and is responding well to the treatment.

However, now it is likely that Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar may not come down to Goa to present the budget.

The Assembly Session which was scheduled for 22 days may also be curtailed down to only 3 days after completing the mere formality of tabling the budget.

The final decision in this regard will be taken on Monday. 

On Monday, ahead of the Assembly session, all BJP Legistators will meet at 10.30 am to discuss the next plan of action.

And then, after the Governor’s address, Business Advisory Comm comprising Congress legislators will meet the speaker.

While the efforts will be on to curtail the session considering Chief Minister holds 23 Porfolios and it’s important for him to be present in the Assembly.

The Congress says if it's about the health of the CM, they will cooperate in the decision making.
