SRINAGAR, (PTK): Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar died on Sunday, President Ram Nath Kovind said on Twitter. Parrikar, 63, was suffering from advanced pancreatic cancer. He had reportedly been diagnosed with the disease in February 2018.

Several reports on Sunday claimed that Parrikar’s health was deteriorating, and that the Bharatiya Janata Party was making arrangements for a successor. His health took a turn for the worse on Friday night. But the Goa Chief Minister’s Office said the next day that he was in a stable condition.
