Panaji: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) General Secretary Pradeep Padgaonkar said that before leaving to the US Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar should have been transparent to the people of Goa about his illness.

"He should have told the Goans about what he is suffering from. By not doing so, he has created an atmosphere of distrust and confusion in Goa," Padgaonkar said.

The Chief Minister was discharged on March 1 and was recuperating at home until he flew to the US on Wednesday morning.
