While in the Opposition the BJP had repeatedly stalled Parliament, in Goa too Manohar Parrikar had missed no opportunity to disrupt the proceedings in the Legislative Assembly. Now that they are in power they want all voices of Opposition to be silent. No demonstrations or dharnas has become the order of the day. The very basic tenets of democracy are being subverted.
The BJP had promised Zero Tolerance to Corruption and transparency by way of good governance. However, the ground reality is that we have landed from the frying pan into the fire. Things have only got worse over the last three and half years under the BJP rule in Goa and the 15 months that it has been in power at the centre. The only difference is that the corruption by the Congress was out in the open for all to see, but the BJP has been engaging in it besides nepotism on a much larger scale but all that is being done very discreetly masked and extremely subtly executed.
