Who are the bigger rogues? Today, everyone is making fun of Mickey. Fine, he deserves it. He had no business to drive his vehicle on the beach. But no matter how crude, uncouth and rough Micky might be in his behaviour, but still he's far better than some of the present day ministers who are far worse extortionists. Just to give one illustration one such Minister was not even willing to spare the founding father of his own party and demanded money in lakhs for otherwise routine Power (Load) approval. Corruption is a cancer that eats away a citizen's faith in a democracy. Today, people are losing faith in institutions and in the Government itself because of the rampant prevailing corruption that is happening, under the instructions of such Ministers. When you accept such mercenaries in the party to swell your numbers, then there's no option but to ignore such things as part of political compulsion. That is the nature of politics today. BJP's tallest leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee once said, " there can be no compromise regarding corruption". But today, Goa's politics is proving him wrong. Mickey can be taken care of but who will tame such Ministers?
