Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar swiftly on 4th March last year appointed his relative Kurupati Dwarkanath Row to the very high constitutional post as the Chairman of Goa Public Service Commission.
Now the Goa Public Service Commission has selected Manohar Parrikar’s relative Mahesh Parrikar to the plumb Group B gazetted officer post as Civil cum Sub Registrar. There is no problem with relatives of Ministers aspiring for government jobs but it has to be strictly on merit. Was there nobody with better credentials than Kurupati Dwarkanath Row to occupy the very vital post as Chairman of the Goa Public Service Commission? Is Mahesh Parrikar the most outstanding candidate amongst the hundreds who applied for the post of Civil cum Sub Registrar? Manohar Parrikar had assured good governance but it is ‘Acche din’ only for his coterie of family and friends. Leaders who live out on nepotism have no chance to build a culture of trust. For the sake of Goa, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar needs to look beyond his Parivar.
