Goa CM seeks people’s blessings

Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, who returned to Goa from a U.S. hospital on Thursday, began his day on Friday with a visit to the Shri Mahalaxmi temple in Panaji, his assembly constituency.

In a video message, he sought blessings from the people of Goa. “Thanks to your support and prayers, I have returned to work after treatment. I ask for your blessings and I want to assure you that I will work for the development and the good of Goa,” a weak-looking Mr. Parrikar said in the message sent out soon after assuming work at the State Secretariat.

Mr. Parrikar was being treated for a pancreas-related ailment.
