`Manohar Parrikar-led regime has lost its majority with the death of a BJP MLA
The Congress on Saturday asked Goa Governor Mridula Sinha to dismiss the government led by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar as "it has lost the strength of the House" following the death of BJP MLA Francis D'Souza and asked her to invite the party to form the government.
It also urged her "not to bring the State under President's Rule as it would be a violation of the Constitution". In a letter to the Governor, Leader of the Opposition Chandrakant Kavlekar
said the coalition government, led by Mr. Parrikar, was now in a "minority".
Rumours on CM's health
The demand came amid rumours of a deterioration in Mr. Parrikar's health. The Chief Minister has been under treatment for pancreatic cancer at home. A statement from the Chief Minister's office, however, said his condition was 'stable'.
