As the results of the last Goa Assembly elections were being declared on 6th March 2012, Elvis Gomes was seen at the BJP headquarters in Panaji celebrating and flirting with Manohar Parrikar. It was a most unbecoming conduct of a bureaucrat who by law is constitutionally duty bound to be politically neutral at all times.
After being over the last four years misused by Manohar Parrikar and the BJP as a conduit in many of their illegal acts, the former Director of Municipal Administration should now not cry foul. It is good to dream but one has to realistically. To be Chief Minister one has to first be an MLA and for AAP which is factually the B team of the BJP, the writing is on the wall for even the blind to see. And if Elvis Gomes was keen to serve Goa, he could have done a lot for the State through the plum government posts he was holding and also as President of Goa Football Association rather than venturing into electoral politics, which today has ended up being the Scoundrel’s last resort. But it’s only the former Inspector General of Prisons who would truly know why he opted for voluntary retirement and chose to get himself imprisoned.
