Please follow the link http://thegoan.blogspot.com. I feel Parrikar needs to be given a chance to form govt with full majority. I had a chat with Parrikar over the phone when he was trying to form the govt taking support from Babush. He said he was constrained by the current state of poiltics and had no choice but to form govt if Goa were to be saved from land sharks, corruption and bankrupcy. He said it would be ideal for Goa if every politician was non-corrupt and dedicated for Goan's well being, but the reality was far from this and hence he had to live with such constraints. He would himself follow his ethics even if he were to side with Babush. He explained this to me for about 20 min without having met/known me. After I had this talk, I fully understood his determination and the reason behind him making a U-turn. It is true that he had a centralized administrative style. But that is what is required while dealing with govt servant babus. A near impossible feat like IFFI 2004 could never have been achieved had he delegated work and expected it to get done somehow. IFFI is an investment. The cost that everyone complains about will be recovered in the years to come by way of tourism and fame. Cajetan Rego, Tivim Goa
