Dears,
Rajan Parrikar interviewed Manohar Parrikar at the Goa Assembly complex,
Penha de Franca, in the presence of Floriano Lobo, Secretary of the Goa Su Raj
Party, a registered but unrecognised political party in Goa. [If I remember
right, the 433 votes polled by FL in Aldona Constituency in June 2007 elections
are the highest ever by GS party in an Assembly election in Goa.]
Regarding the infamous VCD, Manohar-bab can not go much further than he went
in a tete-a-tete with me on 01 March, 2007 ... the BJP will lose votes in its
traditional votebank of rabid communalists.
MP cannot agree to banning Rave Parties as it will adversely affect the
finances of at least two of his MLAs in North Goa.
I cannot agree with FL on IFFI 2004. If MP did not push the IFFI 2004 he
would never have the credit for the INOX and the Promenade ...and the funds
from inflated work estimates of GSIDC allegedly siphoned from the projects for
the party election campaign. The IFFI accounts are subject matter of CAG
reports and reportedly of a few post-IFFI deals. By 29 January, 2005, MP's
Power Minister had migrated from Jaipur to the Congress and left the BJP
literally powerless. The shortest sentence in the Bible has just two words in
it, "He wept." This sentence was etched into MP's personal record on that day!
MP was no longer the CM for IFFI 2005. He timed it right for the history books
...although he may not be remembered as he would have loved to.
I will await the link to the video on Youtube.
Mog asundi.

Subject: [Goanet] MP's Interview by Rajan Parrikar
Dear Goans; Goa netters,
I am happy to report that it did take place
as rescheduled at the office of the Leader of the Opposition, Secretariat,
Porvorim, starting sometime at or after 7 p.m.and taking all of 2 + hours
with a couple of well deserved breaks.
I must admit that Rajan has firmly cast his 'anchor' as far as anchoring goes,
and he has done a pretty good job of it too.
I got my chance to tell MP a thing or two during the short breaks
as regards his camera answers.
I must say that MP came through quite well thro' the ordeal of facing the
other side of the Parrikar line, but as a silent observer during the ongoing
session and not so silent observer during the breaks, I must admit that I
have agreed to disagree with MP on quite a few fronts. I will not want to
remove the 'shine' of the recording before it is ready to be posted for
comments but I will indicate as to where and how I differ with the views
held by MP.
MP: (Re: VCD)
FC: Cannot and will not go by what MP has said. He was the Education
Minister besides being the CM. He should have known better than to push the
VCD.
MP: Re: Curchorem riots.
FC: Agree with MP to a certain point.
MP: Re: reduced size of the Cabinet and intelligence of Ministers.
FC: Do not agree at all with MPs views.
MP: Re: Rave Parties.
FC: Do not agree at all.
MP: Re: IFFI
FC: Do not agree. It could have been undertaken the following year on a
modest lines of IFFI-2007.
As I have said earlier, I do not want to take the 'shine'
off the recording before hand. The world of Goans must see if they agree or
do not agree with MP on various points. Re: MPs statement " People
considered me as a dictator when I wanted to put my foot down against
tolerating nonsense" my advice to him (off the camera ofcourse) was that he
should have been more of a dictator than a climbing down parrot. As a
parting shot re the topic of sacking of Babush Monserrate as TCP minister,
this is what I have told MP and he has taken it smiling:
" Manohar, you must realise that you scored 100 points out of 100 with the
people when you sacked Babush. But you lost all those points plus many more
when you wanted to stay in power by sheer force. You should have let
Congress form the government. The people of Goa would have brought you back
with double force. But instead, you are responsible for handing the
well-being of the Goan people in the hands of CORRUPT ; NO GOOD; VISIONLESS
Congress Stooges.
The End.
Here's wishing one and all a very happy EASTER
