The very high-handed and unprecedented move by this autocratic government to curtail the session of the Goa Legislative Assembly on account of Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar's illness is very deplorable, uncalled for and a gross abuse of power. Political bankruptcy and sheer sycophancy at its hilt.
The Government is a collective responsibility and cannot revolve around one individual. There must be a second in command who can steer it through. The Chief Minister’s charge and Finance portfolio can surely be handed over to the next Senior most Minister. The State cannot be put in ICU or on a ventilator for the sake of one individual. Goa and governance has to move on and nobody is indispensible. It may be a blessing in disguise and the dawn of a new era to Save what remains of Goa. The very serious Mining, Madhei and other issues confronting a currently sinking Goa must be urgently and extensively debated by the Legislative Assembly.
