STRAYING GOAN OBSERVER ANALYSED
Hanv Saiba stray jaata, maka Saiba vaat disona.... Hanv Saiba stray jaata, maka Saiba vaat dakoui.... Stray thought: Mickky turned the heat on Ravi and Digamber by calling for a CBI enquiry into Ravi’s drug scams and Digamber’s illegal mining scam..... At this stage police converted the the case from abetment of suicide to murder. Straying analysed: Media is in tight grip of Miners and Digu. Mining scams will be suppressed unless people take it up. Media was working overtime on drug scam, till Ravi exposed media link in drug scam. Stray thought: Mickky dropping from the cabinet was on the intervention of Pawar, who had enough on his plate with IPL scam. Perhaps Pawar decided that the Mickky case would be a useful diversion from his own scams. Straying analysed: Maharashtra population is ten crore. Media there covered Mickey very sparcely. In the last ten years, Rest of India has written off 15 lakh Goans of playing dirty village politics, which has no bearing on 1000 times larger country. There are many municipalities in India with population more than Goa. Mickey episode has very little influence for diverting attention in Pawars domain. But Mickey case did achieve diversion in Goa: from rampant hill cutting, conversion of fields, Raheja Carmona, I don’t want Goan votes, Women keep off politics, deaths under mining trucks, police excesses on people, illegal mining, dust pollution, VGG onslaught etc, which are all blots on Digu. Stray thought: The sacking of Mickky has created a fresh problem for Digamber. He will now be under pressure to drop Ravi for the narcotics scam. The chief referred to by Atala in the video cannot be Ashish but Roy as there is no reason why a drug peddler should be frightened of a mere police inspector. Mickky will get more vociferous about Ravi’s links with the drug trade, not to mention the collapse of law and order in Goa. Straying analysed: It was herd from another strayer on Margao street that it was a prominent businessman close to Digu who advised Mickey to bring Ravi’s issue out. Mickey is a rat. Challenge to CM’s chair comes from Ravi, who will have bad time especially before the next elections, unless he breaks Digu’s hold on media. Stray Thoughts: Everyone, including the police, know where he is but are reluctant to arrest him. Straying analysed: All others knowing Micky’s whereabout is subsidiary. But claim that CM knows it is very serious - a blot on the morality of CM. Stray thought: We do not know whether Mickky will spend any time in jail. What would be appropriate is to send Mickky to the Institute of Psychiatryr. Straying analysed: Even a child can deduce that. Mahanand, the killer of 16 got away with Digu only counting mining profits and leaving everything else to high-command. Sending Mickey to psychiatric hospital is a good suggestion. A better one is to send entire cabinet along with. Stray thought: My first ever attempt in 63 years to trace my roots because some call me a Mallu. I have completely lost touch with Kerala that I do not even know whether I have any relatives left alive there. Straying analysed: Ok! Let’s not call him Malyali. How about PMO – Person of Malyali Origin? Happy? That he had no courtesy to trace his blood for 63 years speaks of his flesh and bones! Seby
