Goa Power Minister Pandurang Madkaikar suffered a heart attack in Mumbai following which he was admitted to a hospital in the metropolis, a senior BJP leader said today.

Madkaikar, 53, was in Mumbai yesterday for a visit when he fell ill.

He was admitted to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai last night after he suffered the heart attack, Goa health minister Vishwajit Rane said.

"We are yet to get more details," he added.

Madkaikar is the BJP legislator from Cumbharjua constituency in North Goa district.

BJP's Goa general secretary Sadanand Tanavade said Madkaikar had left for Mumbai yesterday afternoon for some work and he apparently suffered the heart attack in the Maharashtra state capital.

"He has been admitted in a hospital," he added.
