On 21st August which was the last day of the monsoon session of the Goa Legislative Assembly Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had assured that all the Casino advertisements displayed on the police barricades would be removed immediately. It is two long months and those Casinos advertisements have only increased.
While as the Leader of the Opposition Manohar Parrikar had consistently and vehemently opposed the Casinos while branding them as a ‘social evil’ and had vowed to throw them out of the River Mandovi if he came to power. Manohar Parrikar had called Casinos as "dens of vice", and had even led an agitation to demand their closure. But ever since coming to power on March 9th 2012 Manohar Parrikar is firmly aboard in love and flirting with the Casino brigade. We all know why the Casinos are today enjoying Chief Minister’s total patronage and unstinted support. He is now going out of the way to promote the Casino culture in Goa. A hell of a U Turn by Manohar Parrikar.
