There is no question of sidelining or political surgery.
It is unfortunate but true that our Hon. MP Shripad Naik though a good man is 
unable to produce results. He was given the post for reasons other then 
performance and given time to prove himself.
Regarding Mr Parsekar, 
1) The speaker Hon Mr Arlekar is too rigid, and there is a small problem 
regarding finances
2) The Deputy CM Hon Francis D'Souza though the right man for the post is 
plagued with health issues 
3) Mr Sudin Dhavlikar Hon PWD minister is of the MGP
4) Most BJP MLA's are inexperienced for the post 
5) Best Choice Mr Parsekar Hon. CM.

As far as taking Manohar Bab's advice there is absolutely no issue. There was 
insufficient time for a handing/ taking over. Is it any wonder our Hon. CM is 
at sea? 
Further more a state such as Goa is too complex to be governed by a newbie and 
who else to give the advice and direction then Manohar Bab.
I have been a keen follower of Manohar Bab, and i am of the firm opinion that 
he has his heart in the right place. His love for Goa and all things Goan is 
without doubt. He has successfully navigated the mine field of illegalities in 
various sectors that were handed to him. Many real estate issues and other 
illegalities were caused by certain people in the previous working hand in 
glove with the crooks, this unholy alliance bought Goa to its knees. He has 
held the state together through a grave financial crises, and most importantly 
he has made efforts to bridge the gap between goans. This is a great 
achievement.
One has only to drive through Goa to see the changes, read the papers to 
realise that he has taken the power crises by the throat and already ensured 
that within the next few years unnecessary power cuts will be a thing of the 
past. The cash and carry attitude of a blind Govt and the belief in 
entitlements for work done was slowly but surely being eradicated. The unwieldy 
bureaucracy that was a law unto itself was shedding its sloth and indifference. 
All in all Manohar Bab did a great Job and was a blessing to Goa at a time Goa 
needed a saviour. 
His elevation is a recognition of his Hard work, Dedication and getting things 
done attitude. His sharp mind and ability to think clearly and with foresight 
under stress, makes him the perfect person for the post of Defence Minister, 
the Hottest seat in the Govt, he will make all Goans and Indians proud. We are 
indeed fortunate to have a man like him in Goan politics. 
As is the way of the world Manohar cannot keep everyone happy, but he has put 
the state and its people on a firm foundation after pulling us out of dungheap. 
One only hopes the new Hon CM will carry Goa forward under the watchful and 
benevolent care of our Manohar Bab.
