Leadership crisis in Goa The experiment to have a 3 member "Super Cabinet" does not seem to be working. There is a vacuum and a leadership crisis at the moment. Today’s mining strike reflects the present state of governance. How long can the present experiment go on? Today, there was complete disruption in normal life, chaos and violence near the Mandovi bridges as well as lots of inconvenience caused to standard twelve students. Hundreds more were left stranded in Bambolim schools. Was all this right? In the present scenario, it would make far greater sense for the Hon. CM to hand over his portfolios to a colleague, temporarily till he recovers, which will be the fair, practical and proper thing to do. What happened today was not fair to the students who are the future of the Country. What signals are we sending to them, that chaos and inconvenience is a natural and acceptable way of life in Goa? If so, they will grow up thinking this way and the future will be bleak. Governance has to be a continuous process with proper accountability. Today, who do we hold accountable? A “Super Cabinet” without much Constitutional powers cannot be a working substitute to constitutional posts. While I wish the CM a speedy recovery, some change in thought process have to be there. The present arrangement is not working. Putting some one in charge for the moment will make far greater sense.
