ENTERTAINMENT EXPENDITURE It is interesting to discover that four MPs and one official
Have spent one crore on entertainment, hardly beneficial To the common man or to the general welfare. Why should the tax-payer such expenditure bear When the common gains are so superficial? And why must such entertainment be at a five-star hotel? Does this any kind of austerity spell? Shouldn't one give guests a chance to taste authentic Goan food? Perhaps this could also genuine local surroundings include - Not doing so, a strange elite mentality does spell. And in these days of email and STD, Must our officials go on bended knee So often to the Delhi and Mumbai? One would like to know why: How does this better governance guarantee? - Shanti Dhoot RE Message: 10 16 Jun 2008 From: "Lionel Messias" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Goa's flying circus is back Message-ID: < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dayanand Narvekar spent Rs14,94,884 of your precious tax money flying to Mumbai and *Dilli*.

Hardly had he taken over his ministry, Vishwajit Rane went gastronomic. He threw a dinner, guess where, at the Cidade de Goa for the advisory council on October 20, 2007. Cost: Rs84,788. That was his first. Other extravagant dinners will follow. You can bet your life on that despite PM Manmohan Singh going on national TV to plead for austerity. *The government's food bill (and growing) so far: The government's food bill (and growing) so far: Digambar Kamat Rs36,47,744 Pratapsing Rane Rs39,72,941 Manohar Parrikar Rs12,05,515 J.
