Last month Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar and his close buddy Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni hurriedly processed the renewal of those controversial 17 mining leases.
As part of the huge mindboggling windfall Atmaram Nadkarni has added yet another Mercedes to his fleet. This black colored Mercedes Benz S 350 CDI was registered with No GA 07 Q 1121 at the Panaji Road Transport Office on 14th of October. Atmaram Nadkarni bought the vehicle from M/S Counto Motors at Porvorimon a cash payment of a whopping one crore twenty seven lakhs. With moolah just flowing in from so many fountains the messiah of the mining lords Atmaram Nadkarni is one of the few who has never had to take a loan in every Mercedes he has bought. Now that he has resigned as Advocate General he is hoping with Manohar Parrikars’s blessings to be anointed as the Additional Solicitor General of India. But sources close to him say that Atmaram Nadkarni is equally keen to continue as Advocate General of Goa now being infatuated with that red beacon he enjoyed as the Advocate General. He may make that U Turn though he had last week vowed that he would not work as Advocate General under any other Chief Minister. Goa’s flamboyant Advocate General is known not be a man of principles and someone who would dip even into the gutter if the stakes are high. Infact the Special Investigating team probing the Goa mining loot should have focused their probe as to how Manohar Parrikar and Atmaram Nadkarni have acquired so much wealth and assets over the last two and a half years in particular.
