During the 2012 Assembly elections Manohar Parrikar had promised that only Professionals and no Politician would head Corporations and other government bodies. But dismayingly it has been political cronies including some defeated BJP candidates rehabilitated all along.
One of the only exception in the last three and half years may be the much deserved appointment last month of renowned poet Madhav Kamat as the President of the Goa Konkani Academy. A very dignified and qualified person who has always steered clear of the political rot. Government positions are to serve society and not to feast on making the best of the perks at tax payer’s expense. An example that all could emulate is that of Vasco businessman Paresh Joshi who as the Vice Chairman of the Kala Academy never ever used the official vehicle.
