While as Leader of the Opposition Manohar Parrikar use to raise a hue and cry over extensions in service and contract appointments being then given to retiring government officers.
Now that he is in power, he has been indiscriminately giving extensions to officials having leanings to the saffron brigade. In an attempt to camouflage this, an odd person from the minority community is also given an extension. Mr. Chief Minister, the people of Goa are not that stupid and will not be carried away by your gimmicks. Make public the list of all those given extensions and contract appointments over the last 20 months and the cat will be out of the bag. These extensions in service and contract appointment being given beyond the retirement age amounts to a cruel and grave injustice to the young unemployed and those young officers awaiting promotion. To protect the interest of the Goan youth there needs to be a total blanket ban on extensions in service and contract appointments to the retired with no exceptions whatsoever. Infact the government needs to revert the retirement age to 58 and bring hope to the young unemployed. That will be a true and much needed Parivartan.
