“Will Mopa be viable, ask airport bidders
Govt faces a knockout question -- will Mopa get business if Dabolim exists -- in its pre-bid meeting; 12 of 16 companies responding to Mopa RFQ met govt; Govt to reply to viability question by Nov 17 By Glenn Costa [email protected] | 04 Nov, 2014, 12:27AM IST ” This is a brilliant opportunity for Fr. Ermito Rebello to go hammer and tongs after the sinister plans of the Goa BJP Government led by arrogant Manohar Gopalkrishna Prabhu Parrikar who is hell bent on perpetuating Mopa airport to suit his whims and fancies. Fr. Ermito along with his supporters need to form a consortium of intellectuals, experts and environmentalist who are independent and apolitical to impress upon the companies interested in bidding for construction of the Mopa airport, the non viability and futility of building the second airport in Goa. Any business organization, if given a credible layout of the futility of another airport, will not venture to put their money where disaster will be the end product. But then if there are no world class bidders the CM may rope in SN Bhobe and Associates to turn Goa into a master disaster. What an intricate web we Goans have weaved by electing The BJP Government to power.Ai-Shaiba! John Collaco USA
