Whatever criticisms Aires Rodrigues and others may have about Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, in my opinion he has achieved a lot. Not as much as all of us want or expect, but if recent past experience is any indication, he has succeeded in many ways. The previous several Governments were a revolving door, with greedy politicians each seeking to be Chief Minister. They were out-witted at their own game and unceremoniously thrown out. Now, at least we have some political stability. A few roads hot-mixed ? That is progress. Would we rather have the terribly pot holed nightmarish roads of the past ? Sure all our roads have not been hot-mixed. I would rather have half a loaf than none. Grandstanding and grandiose schemes and ribbon-cutting ? That is how the political game is played by politicians of every hue, saffron or not. ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
