Manohar Parrikar is known to break the rules and go out of the way to illegally promote the interests of his family and select friends.
Dr Mahesh Sardessai, the father-in-law of Manohar Parrikar’s elder son Utpal who is Professor of Radiology at Goa Medical College is being very high-handedly given yet another year’s extension despite there being extremely competent Associate Professors to head the department. Ironically during Manohar Parrikar’s first stint as Chief Minister he had got Dr Mahesh Sardessai’s clinic at Porvorim raided for indulging in private practice. In yet another act of nepotism Manohar Parrikar after becoming Chief Minister in 2012, despite the Medical Council of India rules mandating that the Senior most Professor should be appointed as Medical Superintendent had anointed Dr Sunanda Amonkar to the coveted post just because she was the sister of his close associate, the Panaji computer dealer Nilesh Amonkar. She was only an Associate Professor in the Medicine department and above all had no administrative experience at all. Now sources at the Secretariat reveal that Dr Sunanda Amonkar was told to offer her resignation as there are behind the scene plans to appoint Manohar Parrikar’s very relative, the 64 year old Dr Mahesh Sardessai as the Medical Superintendent of Goa Medical College. Recently while terminating the services of Avinash Chander as the Chief of (DRDO) Defence Research and Development Organization, the Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar claimed it had been done to give opportunity to the younger generation. Does Manohar Parrikar have to be reminded that "What's good for the goose is good for the gander" Aires Rodrigues Advocate High Court C/G-2, Shopping Complex Ribandar Retreat, Ribandar – Goa – 403006 Mobile No: 9822684372 Office Tel No: (0832) 2444012 Email: airesrodrigu...@gmail.com Or airesrodrig...@yahoo.com You can also reach me on Facebook.com/ AiresRodrigues Twitter@rodrigues_aires
