Hundreds of people, including some Congress leaders, Tuesday evening marched to the private residence of ailing Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, demanding his resignation, and a "full-time" chief minister in his place.
The people, who came together under the banner of 'People's March For Restoration of Governance', marched for about 1 km, and gave an "ultimatum" of 48 hours to Manohar Parrikar to step down as the chief minister, reports NDTV.
Apart from the Congress, other political parties including NCP and Shiv Sena also extended support to the protest march, which was initiated by social activists and NGOs.
The protesters demanded Mr Parrikar step down as the chief minister as he has been unwell.
They said the governance in the state had suffered as Manohar Parrikar was ill and remained hospitalised for more than nine months, NDTV reported.
