CM for non-Goans Recent statements made by our highly controversial Chief Minister Digambar Kamat against women – those who visited him in his office on behalf of village groups of Goa, who he told that he does not require their votes, as well as against women in general, saying that they should not enter politics, are expected. The fact is that Kamat is all for non-Goans, because he depends on the votes of migrants in Margao.
In the Secretariat, he has appointed Anupam Kishor as Joint Secretary (Debt Management) and Director of PPP, and has given him several other charges, as if there are no capable Goan officers. In this, he has blocked the promotions of several Goan officers. The chief minister has bad advisors, including his OSD Verlekar, who thinks he is the de facto Chief Minister of Goa. Our chief minister thinks he is the CM of Margao, and is not ready to help people of other constituencies. The High Command should change the chief minister and also Goa Congress President Subhash Shirodkar, who does not have any following. Otherwise, the Congress is doomed in the next election.
