When Isidore Fernandes resigned from the Congress and contested on the BJP
ticket (bye elections?) I was present in Poinguini campaigning against
Isidore with 'Isidore NO' leaflets distributed freely and widely when I
happened to witness the Congress Meeting at the local temple venue in
Poinguimi. This is what Sardinha had to say in that meeting

Manohar Parrikar has no heart. He is a heartless person [meaning 'he stabbed
me in the back']

From the roadside audience, atop the slope, I had shouted thus

When you hugged Manohar Parrikar to sit on the CMs Chair, you failed to put
your ear to his chest. If you had done that, you'd know better

Subject: [Goanet] Sardinha's record as CM
Sardinha was the most corrupt Chief Minister Goa ever had afte Rane. You
should not forget his involvement in the famous marks scandal when he was
the Education Minister he was instrumental in increasing the marks of his
niece Shalini Sardinha. His other famous scandals include meat complex
scandal, dam scandal, and the power scandal.
As Pro-tem Speaker of Goa Assembly Sardinha had shamelessly and fraudelently
given his casting vote in favour of Rane Government which survived the trial
of strength in State Assembly resulting in Center imposing President,s rule
in Goa.
And now his latest achievement is legalizing bull fights which is a shameful
act of cruelty to animals. Even the kasais will not give such a torment to
the hapless animals they kill.

during Sardinha's tenure as CM so that wecan see what his achievements and
misdeeds were ?I tried to go through the Goanet archives but not much seems
to be therebefore 2003. I remember a few things --- there was this bond
issue whichwas thought of as a big scam. Of course, Parrikar back stabbed
him whenhe went to Australia on govt. money is a well-known
story.regards,Samir
