Gee, looks like Digu has taken us for a spin in his time machine.
Where are we today, in 1970? Aren't we already an "international
tourist destination"? Haven't we been one for a long time now?
Have Digu and the Union govt asked Goans whether they
want more tourism? Why are decisions that have ramifications
for our day-to-day lives taken without consulting us, without
any public discussion and debate?
Note that the selfless public servants, Daya-bab Narvekar and
Senhor Churchill, they who have never robbed a single paisa from
Goa's treasury, accompanied Digu to this pass-the-begging-bowl
round in Delhi.
Digu also asked the Centre to help him strengthen Goa's
police. About the only thing Digu hasn't yet asked
Sonia-didi is for help with his morning ablutions.
