Manohar Parrikar

Goa Congress President Shantaram Naik on Wednesday slammed the BJP and the ruling alliance for keeping Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar's health status a "secret", saying that even senior BJP leaders close to Parrikar have not been informed about his medical condition.

Naik said that in absence of Parrikar, who is undergoing treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer in a US hospital, there was no functional government in the state and the administration had gone haywire.
