Francis D’Souza being the Deputy Chief Minister should have been the natural, unanimous and obvious choice to be Goa’s next Chief Minister. But with the RSS calling the shots if it does not happen it would only confirm the BJP’s communal credentials.
It is very appalling that after all that talk of Zero Tolerance to Corruption the BJP even dared consider the name of Rajendra Arlekar who is facing corruption charges. The court has adjourned to 12th November arguments in the disproportionate assets case against him. While Goa rejoices and is relieved with the exit of Manohar Parrikar and his sidekick Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni, the focus now has to be to bring Goa back on track after all the mess and controversies created by Manohar Parrikar. But in Manohar Parrikar’s departure what is Goa’s gain may sadly be India’s liability. We shall soon know.
