To, *Mr. Laxmikant Parsekar, *Chief Minister of Goa. Secretariat, Penha de Franca/Porvorim-Goa. Sir, *Sub: Open Letter.* Your party, the Bharatiya Janata Party- BJP was elected to power in 2012 Elections to rule Goa, because your manifesto prominently displayed your party’s wish to curb, if not eliminate, corruption at high and low levels, terming that your party stood for ‘ZERO’ tolerance to corruption. Goa was reeling under acute corruption by the previous Congress led government and the people of Goa wanted a lid put on corruption. Your Party had worked-up the people of Goa against corruption to a frenzy, especially with respect to casinos, illegal mining etc., etc., [and those videos of Manohar Parrikar as the then opposition leader are still going viral] Therefore, a convincing mandate to your party to rule Goa sans corruption. But when your Party took over, it was all water on duck’s back with U-turns after U-turns on every single election promise that you made. Not being able to face the rebuke for ‘confidence tricks’ played on Goans, Manohar Parrikar bhai opted out of Goa to be India’s Defence Minister leaving his boots, nay sandals, for you to walk in. And, at the outset, you did make a declaration that you were not the natural choice to walk in Manohar Parrikar’s sandals, but that it was a ‘lottery’ that gave you the High Seat of Goa’s administration. It is easier to break corrupt practices, to castigate and penalize persons indulging in such corrupt practices, when they mean nothing to those who wield the whip. But as we see, your own brother-in-law has been red-handed caught accepting a hefty bribe of one lac of rupees for a favour. You, at first, did the right thing to disassociate yourself from this case. But then you steadily succumbed to the family ties and went about breaking the back-bone of the law enforcers, two, among the top most respected police officers of Goa, to save your kin. But then you have done something that has been a trade-mark of your Party, which is “ catch a thief, take maximum mileage out of it, brag and boast, and then when people tend to forget things, quietly reinstate the thief or even worse, upgrade him to a higher level of corruption”. Manohar Parrikar bhai had show-cased this trade-mark when he had himself, some years ago, red-handed caught this Babu taking a bribe in his office. And to the chagrin of the general public, this babu was kicked upstairs with a recommendation, instead of being punished and demoted to set the example. Inadvertently, you have learnt the tricks of the trade from your superiors. But then, you have gone a step forward in polishing the art of saving your own kin from the noose, inadvertently telling the people of Goa the very words that they have come to the point of revolting ‘ I AM DOING WHAT I WANT TO DO AND I DON’T CARE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT . AFTER ALL, I HAVE WON THE LOTTERY . I AM IN CHARGE’. But, dear Mr. Parsekar. This seemingly insignificant Party, which has come up only to undo the terrible wrongs that your Party and others have done unto Goa and Goans for far too long, wants to sound a piece of advice so that you may do the introspection over your actions. The Legislative Assembly Complex is funded by tax-payer’s money. It has a commendable library. It would be prudent for you to step in that library and find the book on the history of the Roman Empire where the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar has uttered these words *“CAESAR’S WIFE MUST BE ABOVE SUSPICION”* when he was asked to explain why he divorced his wife Pompeia. Thanking you, Yours faithfully, Sd/- (Floriano Lobo) General Secretary/Spokesperson Goa Su-Raj Party goasura...@gmail.com 9890470896 www.goasu-raj.org http://www.goasu-raj.com/gen/display_commentsOnNews_data.asp?pg=3816 GOA !
