As Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar repetitively rues about the financial crisis the State coffer is reeling under, the obvious sensible thrust of his government should have been to meticulously curb all avoidable wasteful expenditure.
Today in the name of laying a foundation stone for the widening of the Ribandar- Old Goa bypass an unnecessary gala function was organized. Lakhs must have been poured down the drain on those huge newspaper advertisements itself. Couldn’t all this waste have been avoided? All that money could have been used to fix the pothole ridden roads across Goa. There needs to be a rigorous fiscal responsibility and accountability in every paisa being spent from the State exchequer. Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar should be backed on any good initiative that he undertakes but should be mercilessly hounded when he allows public money to be recklessly squandered and poured down the drain. As people of Goa are running out of patience, Manohar Parrikar needs to forthwith stop talking and start delivering. As a custodian of people’s best interests he has to thread with a vision and foresight, otherwise he may go down in the books of history as Goa’s worst ever Chief Minister who despite a clear mandate and being positioned at a vantage point miserably failed to deliver. The choice is yours, Mr. Chief Minister.
