Manohar Parrikar and the BJP -- A Good expose Floriano I fully agree to Anamika's post (if a lady by that name actually exists or is not another spin doctor of Porrikar). Porikar is a good administrator and if he personally came around at 2 am to supervise the works at IFFI...i would say that speaks volumes of his commitments, but on the other hand i wonder if he was interested in the project or the bounty he is alleged to have made post it.
I knew Porikar since early 90s when he was a fire brand leader of opposition, and came as a change to the Goans as the then leader of opposition Ramakhant Khalap was totally bought over by Rano and the Congress and acted as a pro congress man whilst still in the MGP, and worse while still holding the offices and enjoying the priveledges of the offices of the leader of opposition. Parrikar, came as a whiff of fresh air...but as the years rolled by we realised and saw the true colours of a desperate RSS chaddiwallah, who tried to successfully camoufledge the people into believing that his colours were anything but safforn. But along with the first traces of success the added colours melted and exposed more and more of the safforn original. The true colours of the Parrikar were observed when he stumped the MGP and almost destroyed the regional outfit, next he took Dotor Willy -- the ever so desperate kodel seeker for a huge ride, then Sardinha, then the Mandarin hotel case, the Governor's arcade destruction, the Bishop's palace, the harrasment of the minorities using the police force, etc etc etc....the list is endless and did not stop at forging the signature of the Neri. All through he had good assistance from the likes of Digamber kamat and his other BJP associates. But it was not the BJP that made the frankestein called Parriker...it was the Congress and in particular the former chief minister Pratapsingh Rane. The latest preys of Parrikar is none other than the south Goa BJP candidate for the parlimentary election -- Dr Wilfred Meaquita! Yesterday, the BJP has publicly announced at Margao's Lohia Maidan that if the Congress withdraws the SEZs, they will withdraw Dr Wilfred Mesquita as its candidate? This shows how serious the BJP is about the forthcoming elections and also how much of a puppet has Dr Wilfred Mesquita been already reduced even before the battle has begun, what he will be later on is anybody's guess. Parrikar and the BJP has taken Goan politics to the dogs...to ground levels...Parrikar at one time denounced the likes of churchill and babush only to get into an alliance with them post elections. All the fake colours of secularism that parrikar painted himself with initially are now washed away by the power of his many sins... So in the present scnario when the Goan masses have woken up to the fact that the Congress is evil, the bigger evil lurking around is people like Porrikar...and trust me -- corruption at a level is tolerable but not the menace of communial politics. See what Narendra Modi has done to Gujarat...I feel Porrikar was responsible for the Curchorem riots and the congress under Rane let him off the hook easily. And this is the Porrikar and BJP we are trying to give a second chance? Regards Cedric da Costa Dubai __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
