July 16, 2019 edition of www.goanspirit.com GIDC: Goa’s Intensely Destructive Company
GIDC's mega projects have changed Goa's topography for the worse and the so-called infrastructure projects have never tendered directly to companies. When you control the prescriptions for vitamin M, why care? GIDC has spent Rs 27.83 crores on the abandoned Ravindra Bhavan at Sancoale. CAG's report said GIDC’s failure to finish the Margao Hospital on time resulted in a Rs 68.76 cr loss. Incidentally, the High Court called the SEZ scam illegal in a “manner not known to law." ......... LIONROARS A Temple Run It’s one thing for BJP karyakartas/MPs to chorus “Jai Shree Ram”, as a taunt, but Goa has been witness to Catholic MLAs carrying appeasement of their new masters to limits that would make the average Catholic cringe. Vjai who was stunned at having the rug pulled by CM Sawant, has withdrawn his 3 GFP MLAs and is whining about how Sawant has gone against Parrikar’s “legacy”. Parrikar had shown how to cling onto power no matter what, only Sawant has done it more forcefully. There's many a slip between the cup and the lip.
