The public is entitled to know the real intention behind every decision the Government takes. Recently by a very bizarre and illogical order the Goa government appointed North Goa Member of Parliament, Mr. Shripad Naik as ‘Special Representative of Goa in Delhi’. It doesn’t take much intelligence to see behind the act. By virtue of being an MP, Mr. Naik already represents Goa in Delhi. So what does this order really mean? Given that Mr. Naik was apparently very keen to enter State politics during the last assembly elections, does this order in any way seek to communicate to Mr. Naik that he should be based full time in Delhi and keep his hands off the Goan political landscape. Or does the order seek to give him more powers than he already has to pursue issues pertaining to Goa with the central government. This seemingly fancy designation will fool no one, least of all Mr. Naik, a former Union Minister himself.
If there is any other justification for this irrational order perhaps, Mr. Manohar Parrikar himself could enlighten us. Like every astute politician, he always has a crafty justification for every thing he does. But let us hear it from him. Over to you, Mr. Chief Minister.
