Given the inflated ego of Anil Salgaocar, he does not seem to agree on any

Of course this one individual has not only held successive governments
but is still holding the environment and ecology to ransom, he is also
throttling tourism in the area along with the livelihood of many with
his stubborn and willful attitude. Even after ten long years his
attitude has almost reached the levels of eccentricity so much so that
against government?s demand of Rs. 10 crores as bank guarantee,
Salgaocar offered Rs. one crore which tantamount to mockery.
The saga of grounded bulk carrier River Princess and successive
governments? inability to remove it for a decade clearly indicates the
incompetence of our administration.

It is shameful that a Goan, Mr. Anil Salgaonkar an elected MLA and Minister is
more interested in his personal prosperity than
the welfare of Goans and Goa. He single handedly appears to be holding Goans
and the Goa Government to ransom
doing nothing concrete to cooperate to remove the grounded bulk carrier by
just using delaying tactics. This also clearly shows the utter
incompetence of the Government and proves the Government is spineless. Surely
they have their own vested interests as well.
The voters particularly from Salgaonkar's constituency as well as Goans in
general should hold Salgaonkar solely accountable and
responsible for this sorry mess and teach him by boycotting him and never ever
elect him again.
