The longer Pratpsingh Rane continues to doze on the Goa Chief Minister's chair, the greater damage the faction ridden Congress party in the state will incur.
Our legislators will fool no one by trying to blame the bureaucracy for slowing Goa's development. The people have seen how well Goa has been administered during the last two stints of President's rule. Even when the politicians are at the helm of affairs the bureaucracy has a constitutional obligation to make sure that the legislators do not take the State for a ride. In Goa we are fortunate to have a very competent and professional team of officers, led by Chief Secretary Mrs. Kiran Dhingra, who on various occasions have had the spine to put their foot down and refuse to dance to the whimsical and corrupt tunes of some politicians. The Congress in Goa has an Uma Bharati by way of Victoria Fernandes and a sulking Shatrugan Sinha in Churchill Alemao. All this makes Leader of Opposition Manohar Parrikar's job much easier. He just has to discreetly ignite and instigate an issue and sit back and watch the fireworks galore, courtesy of the Congress party. In many states the Congress's biggest enemy is from within. Goa is no exception. Is Sonia Gandhi listening? Aires Rodrigues ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
