The Congress Legislature Party (CLP) in Goa will hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss the issue of state leadership in view of Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar's ongoing medical treatment.

The state Congress has also demanded that the Goa government declare the exact cause of Parrikar's ailment by tomorrow.

Parrikar, 62, left for the US early today for his further medical treatment for a pancreatic ailment. This is his third visit to the US since February.

CLP chief Chandrakant Kavlekar, who is also the Leader of Opposition, said, "During tomorrow's meeting, we will discuss whether to approach Governor Mridula Sinha to seek her intervention to appoint a full-time chief minister for the state."
