What's this, Comrade Einstein, a devastating comeback or what? Of course, the MLA of Panjim is the very first fellow I took my case to. What's more, I found out that he was already seized with the issues. When one is out of power one's options are very limited, even more so when the slate of CCP corporators is also controlled by the other side. When Manohar Parrikar was in power he DID show how Panjim could be managed. Parrikar has been trying to resolve the garbage issue for weeks and has worked the ministers and authorities concerned (the issue was brought up during this Assembly session) but this is a non-functioning Digambar Kamat administration. This is not merely my view - this view has been expressed time and again by the Justices in the High Court over the past few months IN A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT CASES! Has Comrade been in coma all this time? A lot of Panjim's other problems are a direct result of the law-breaking ghatis who are swamping Goa. Finally - regardless of the political cast at the helm, I would urge the citizens to remain actively involved. This must be a novel idea to the Comrade, citizen participation and all.
