Late on Sunday evening, Parrikar was rushed to the state government-run health facility after he complained of dehydration and low blood pressure.

Parrikar was admitted to the Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai on February 15 and was being treated for “mild pancreatitis”, the CMO had said earlier.

He arrived in Goa on Thursday (February 22) and presented the annual state budget.
