In March 2012 a few days after becoming Chief Minister of Goa Manohar Parrikar shockingly lost his trusted Minister Matanhy Saldanha on suffering a massive heart attack. Today Prime Minister Narendra Modi is now suddenly without Gopinath Munde who passed away also of a heart attack after a car accident.
Gopinath Munde and Matanhy Saldanha whose age difference is just a year were both mass leaders always in touch with the Aam Aadmi while being very concerned about the downtrodden and the under privileged. Manohar Parrikar had vowed to carry on Matanhy Saldanha’s legacy, but very sadly over the last two years has done everything contrary to Matanhy’s clear and firm views on Casinos, Mopa Airport, Regional Plan and the rest. Let us hope that Narendra Modi does not let down Gopinath Munde and carries on the ideas, plans and the vision that his now departed Rural Development Minister had for the poor.
