Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, who is undergoing treatment in the USA for a pancreatic ailment, is likely to return next month, a state BJP leader said on Tuesday.
The chief minister flew to the USA in the first week of March after he was advised advanced medical treatment by the doctors at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai.

He was discharged on February 22 and presented Budget in the Goa Assembly on the same day upon return.
Later, he was again admitted to Lilavati Hospital on March 5, from where he was taken to the US.
A cabinet advisory committee, consisting of senior ministers, has been authorised to take decisions in his absence.
