The Goa Congress today demanded the appointment of a "full-time" chief minister for the coastal state in the absence of Manohar Parrikar, who is undergoing treatment in the US.
The Congress MLAs and office-bearers staged a demonstration here at the memorial of Goa's first chief minister, late Dayanand Bandodkar, in support of their demand.
Parrikar, 62, is currently undergoing treatment for a pancreatic ailment at a hospital in the US.
In his absence, a three-member advisory committee comprising cabinet ministers is looking into the day-to-day affairs of the state.
Goa Pradesh Congress Committee chief Girish Chodankar said, "We have petitioned everyone, including the governor, seeking the appointment of a full-time chief minister in the absence of Parrikar, but nothing seems to be happening."
