As Goa this week gears to usher in a new government, may the next Advocate General be a beacon of hope for our State.
Over the last five years the BJP government in Goa has been enveloped in confusion, contradictions and controversies with rampant Corruption and nepotism for all to see. Less said the better on those two BJP Advocate Generals Atmaram Nadkarni and Saresh Lotlikar who have ravaged and merrily taken Goa for a ride. As the First Law officer of the State, the Advocate General is expected to be extremely honest, sincere and competent in giving invaluable fair legal guidance to the State Government in formulation of its policy and execution of its decisions. The Advocate General should never be someone who has a lust or greed for wealth or having vested interest with any lobby but has always to ensure the State’s best interests at heart. The Advocate General as the Leader of the Bar should act as role model to the legal fraternity by upholding impeccable integrity and the highest ethical standards while never ever misleading, misguiding or manipulating the Court.
