When Parrikar was controlling CCP while he was the CM, Panjim had
transformed into a beautiful city. There were initiatives like Chaka chak
Panjim and Together for Panjim.
Comment:
This is exactly why politicians believe that public memory is short lived.
Transgressions and aggressions of politicians are soon forgotten. That is
the power of the media and PR agents in manufacturing consent. A lie
repeated a hundred times becomes the truth sooner or later.
We have not forgotten the adventures in renaming roads, destroying the Orte
de Garcia garden which has now been restored to its glory by Babush's gang
after 5 years, budging into Bishop's House over some 'linga', plucking our
Poretuguese name plaques in Fontainhas, destroying a camera of a journalist
for capturing the vandalism of a bar and doubling the rates of information
at the govt. printing press and so on.
Were these Babush's men who did this?
Unfortunately the able and stable leadership of Manohar Parrikar's regime
has not manged in disbaling and destabilisng the intellectual faculties of
all goans.
