Manohar Parrikar and Mauvin Godinho had accused each other of cheating and corruption.
While Manohar Parrikar had filed a complaint against Mauvin Godinho alleging a multi crore power scam while he was Power Minister, Mauvin Godinho had accused Manohar Parrikar of rampant corruption in IFFI 2004. Now the two have embraced each other and are so intimately in love singing and showering praises galore on each other. Is Manohar Parrikar dangling on Mauvin Godinho the sword of that Power scam case which is pending before the Supreme Court? Is Mauvin Godinho hoping that by dancing to the NaMo tunes the Goa Government will take a favourable stand to let him off the hook in that multi crore power scam case. Mauvin Godinho was booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act but managed to stay the proceedings before the Goa Court by moving the Supreme Court. Interestingly the matter is in cold storage before the Supreme Court with no further hearing having taken place after 31st January 2011. But with the recent directive of the Supreme Court that corruption cases against politicians should move fast track, Mauvin's reprieve may soon end with his file surfacing right to the top. In the more recent Dabolim airport land denotification case Mauvin Godinho and Manohar Parrikar have been on the same side of the fence and the reasons are out there in the open. Politics makes strange bedfellows. Even those in the world's oldest profession do it better. Aires Rodrigues T1 - B30, Ribandar Retreat Ribandar - Goa - 403006 Mobile: 9822684372
