Despite there being no dearth of capable and articulate personalities, the BJP has once again displayed its utter political bankruptcy by selecting the most inappropriate lackluster Vinay Tendulkar as its candidate for the lone Goa seat to the Rajya Sabha.
Instead of choosing a knowledgeable, competent and versatile person who could through his eloquent debates raise and highlight Goa related issues in the Rajya Sabha, the BJP has opted for a 12th std pass ITI motor mechanic for the very coveted post. Nothing much can be expected from the inapt Vinay Tendulkar in the Rajya Sabha except that we can be sure to see him regularly snoozing in Parliament like Manohar Parrikar did. In another catastrophic and very shameful move, Manohar Parrikar has ordained the very controversial and tainted Anil Hoble as the Chairman of the government owned OBC Corporation. Anil Hoble was held guilty by the National Green Tribunal (NGT) of having violated various provisions of the environmental laws and was even fined 20 lakhs for destroying mangroves and doing illegal land filling. That verdict was later even upheld by the Supreme Court. The NGT has also ordered the demolition of Hoble River Lounge Bar and Restaurant along the Ribandar- Panaji causeway which though illegal was inaugurated by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on 1st April 2014. But Anil Hoble has now been able to flex his political muscles and delay that demolition with Manohar Parrikar going all out to regularize Anil Hoble’s illegal construction. That’s the law of the jungle, under BJP’s goonda Raj.
