Goa Government should take austerity measures to stop the unnecessary strain on Goa's exchequer. There has to be a curb on unnecessary traveling by Ministers and in particular the foreign jaunts. The Ministers should keep themselves fit and trim by not wining and dining at the people's cost.
In holding on to his chair Chief Minister Digambar Kamat has had to walk a tight rope with some Ministers within his cabinet not seeing eye to eye. Time and again the Chief Minister has had to diffuse virtual in-camera cabinet bull fights. Infact the brunt and humiliation Digambar Kamat has had to face from his own party men and allies has been a bigger threat than the official opposition, the Bharatiya Janata Party. With all clamoring for Ministerial berths and eyeing exclusively the plum lucrative portfolios, it only confirms that they have not embarked on a mission to serve the people but to help themselves and make the best while it lasts.
