Legacy of Manohar:
2012 was when Goa rejoiced that finally a highly qualified Manohar Parrikar became Goa CM backed by all his passionate exposures on:
1) Congress Party Corruption, 2) Closing of Casinos, 3) 0% Tolerance to Corruption, 4) Regional Plan, 5) Special Status to preserve Goa's Identity, 6) Garbage Free Goa by 2016, 7) Recover thousands of crores of mining loot and punishment of the people involved 8.)50,000 plus jobs etc were some of main reasons, Goans voted for Manohar Parrikar to have a Majority Government in the Assembly.
So is it not clear to us what's the outcome after allow these 5 years? How much percentage has been achieved? I would have been fine if there was some achievement but sadly it is practically 0%!
1)Ex Ministers are free and some even are back in the Assembly
2) Casinos have only increased with one now destroying Miramar beach
3) 0% Tolerance has been applied in the ex cm bro in law I guess
-has corruption reduce or has got worse in Goa ?
-Congress men that Manohar has called highly corrupt are now in the BJP. Was this their reward instead of being punished?
- Illegal land deals, conversions are still rampant and thanks to the activists/NGT some have been stalled
4) Regional Plan and
5) Special Status fully U-Turned!
6) Garbage is really free flowing in Goa
7) How much of the mining loot has been recovered(it was proven that actually the BJP also got lot of money from Black Money tainted firms like Timblo) and
8.) how many Jobs were actually created !
Panaji where he was in charge for a quarter of century has degraded big time during the same time.
Also one of the best indicators and measure of his performance was when his majority government became a minority set of MLA's in the last 2017 Elections.
So, I am amazed by people still having their blind folds on, for example when photos are shown of the prime towns of Panaji/Mapusa (which has No1 and 2 of the BJP Incharge ) as filthy, people will still says it's not his/BJP's fault. Will these same people say the same if it was another party in power ? What really are our standards for our politicians to deliver?
There are people who criticize me saying people like me are against BJP on lame points like Beef, Religion etc. when some of these very people knew that I was also vocal against the Congress and "Catholic in name" Ministers. So was it beef and religion then also ! I invite these BJP supporters to check with Manohar if I did not meet him in the Assembly and BJP Panaji office when he was opposition leader with a proposal to improve things in Goa. Why would I do it if I was always Anti-BJP ?
These BJP supporters just come up with anything to protect their politicians on an ideological bias rather than performance and worse it's even the educated ones!
I appreciate Congress was corrupt and wrongly used the religious angle but that does not mean the BJP is less either (Nationally letting Vijay Mallya and Lalit Modi leave the country?). The BJP is misusing religion for power and people surely should be smart enough to recognize this!
Finally the people of Panaji will decide that MLA but I think the practical thing we can do in the very least, is to send a strong message that Failed MLA's must be rejected and new comers must be given a chance else we are setting a bad precedent for Democracy where big failures are tolerated !
Hope Better sense prevails in Panaji on the Election Day.
