Fred,
Do you seriously think that you will hear anything positive about Mr. Parrikar on Goanet? Over the years, I have mostly read nothing but disdain for him. Even if anybody does come out with some positive things that Mr. Parrikar has done, it is the 'messenger' who will get slammed and not the contents of it. The encouraging impression I got about his Government during my recent trip of Goa, was that the corruption had been curbed to a great extent.
I am sure that, should you weigh all the mails that will come in on this particular subject, over 95% will be anti-Parrikar.
Many overseas Goans have an inflated ego about themselves and what they think they know about Goa or how Goa and Goans are, at this time! Lot of things get distorted.
I think the next elections in Goa will be the true test for the present Government. I think that the previous governments in Goa have taken corruption to new heights and nobody is able to do anything about the wealth accumulated by the likes of Narvenkar, Ravi Naik, Rane, Luizinho! I wish there was a way of exposing all that. Everybody talks about how they have accumulated all this wealth but no way to expose it....
Until later...
