The discussion on the subject is quite interesting, particularly the 
comments made by Fred. He has rightly pointed out how Parrikar created 
Babush and took the support of people like Digambar Kamat, Isidore Fernandes 
and Pandurang Madkaikar to form the government. Parrikar also allowed Rane's 
son a field day. Parrikar now criticising these people is really a height of 
hypocrisy. A friend of mine from Goa, who had voted for the BJP says that he 
and his friends came to the conclusion that the last government was not a 
BJP government, but that of Parrikar, considering the huge compromises he 
made in his attempt to stay in power. Even as they admit that there were 
many things that were done then, the negatives have hugely outweighed the 
positives.

However, these very MLAs who supported Parrikar are now with the Congress, 
and presumably they will be given the tickets of the Congress party to 
contest the next elections. So, what are the choices the people of Goa have?

A Chief minister asks the education department to come
out with a VCD showing Goa's history.
History cannot be changed. Whatever history has been
established over the years is documented. A community
made atrocities to gather people in their fold several
hundred years back. That is history. That does not
change anything that happens in the future. The
department came out with the VCD. Now, whatever
happened 500 years back, is it Parrikar's fault?
Is it his fault that people don't realize that that
history happend 500 years back and does not change
anything?

Cajetan Rego,
Tivim Goa.

Gabe,

An apology is also due for the BJP government's complete inaction in 
the Mala-Fontainhas vandalism case, where photos clearly identify some 
of the perpetrators.

I used to be a big supporter of Manoharbab, as were many members of the 
Catholic community in Panjim until these two incidents.

In case Carmo and Cajetan are not aware, there is a very slim chance of 
Parrikar standing for elections in Panjim next year(he will try his 
luck in his native Mapusa, I'm guessing!) because of these two 
incidents. If he does he has absolutely no chance of winning.

Best Regards
Sunith

Cajetan, You make it sound as if Goa makes up its mind collectively on
whom to elect in any election. If at all it's anyone's fault (and keep
in mind, the BJP has never been able to win a single election in Goa,
though it managed to rule, directly and indirectly for nearly
half-a-dozen years) it was the BJP's own fault.

For many in Goa, it is still seen (not without reason) as an
upper-caste, anti-minority political party. Some understand it's
ideology, even those who don't, know what it implies for them. The
Congress, meanwhile, is working hard to make the BJP's dream come
true. By taking the support of the very same mafia that brought the
BJP to power, and kept it there. (Both politicians and lobbies.) Media
manipulation, including cyber-manipulation, is helping in a big way,
too. If we keep trying ... we just might get there. FN

COMMENT: Was it Manohar bab or the BJP that started the IITs and IIMs in 
India. Or are we in Orwellian 1984? Nice to know that Manohar has well 
qualified shoe-shine boys else where in the world also. I thought that 
Rajendra Arlekar, Dinar Bhatkar[incidentally, an IITian specializing in 
unsuccessful Sewage treatment plants and NRI meets till last year], Satish 
Dhond,  Laxmikant Parsekar and VHP's unprincipled Principal Subhash 
[Sah-bash]Velingker and his cronies were enough. Perhaps not really so.

COMMENT: The records show that not a single student from a Goan school got 
into an IIT or IIM anywhere in India during the two consecutive, but 
short-lived, BJP-led Govts. in Goa. No prizes for guessing who was the BJP 
CM then. This year there were half a dozen entrants..and obviously Luizinho 
Faliero feleicitated them publicly in Goa. Of course, you were not in Goa 
then...since you continue in Manohar Fairyland!

COMMENT: This is one point I have to agree with you. Manohar bab CLEANED the 
city of Panaji [with help from Sanjit Rodrigues]. He also CLEANED the 
state's coffers to fund the IFFI [ostensibly to be re-imbursed by the 
central BJP Govt, but that never happened] and fund his party through the 
goodwill of the contractors. The footpaths are still not paved with 
gold...or properly with paver blocks, the Garcia da Orta garden is in a 
mess. To his credit, he has got a good job done of the Old GMC building and 
we have a Multiplex.

"Unmingled joys to no man befall;
Who least, hath some.
Who most, hath never all"
wrote H.W. Longfellow

Parrikar did his fair share of land conversions under Section 17 of the TCP 
Act. He was also the Chairman of the TCP Board that prepared the DRAFT FINAL 
REGIONAL PLAN 2011 between 1999 and 2005 for the longest period as the CM 
between 2000 and 2005!

Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. It is the likes of 
Manohar who bastardize history and put in in VCDs like GOA FREEDOM STRUGGLE 
using lackeys with convenient names and easy morals.

" Flee away from ambition, by that sin fell the angels."wrote  John Milton 
in 'Paradise Lost'. in 2005, the communal harmony paradise of Goa was 
regained. the Congressmen only rob our money...not our value system and 
beliefs.

COMMENT; Tenga! Manohar bab is NOT likely to become Goa's CM now or ever! 
Cleaning a hostel mess or the mess some hostelites make on week-ends is one 
thing, running a Government in Goa is another. One historical fact is that 
the BJP never had a majority of MLAs elected on its symbol in Goa or at the 
Centre. Those who buy MLAs to cobble up a majority pay through their nose. 
Manohar knows how he lived with the bunch of fools that he had for Ministers 
[save Matanhy and Digambar] and had to try and survive by asking his Speaker 
to resort/accept forgery and deceit.

It does not behoove a person who feels that he is EDUCATED to deride others

Hey Bosco, Why only Mickky? You've forgotten that Manohar Parrikar
could not have survived without having created Babush Monserrate,
taken the support of Digambar Kamat and Isidore Fernandes and
Pandurang Madkaikar (the very same guys he blasts for being part of
the 'land mafia' today, rightly so), and having taken the support of
the politician he retained as Speaker (Pratapsing Rane) and his very
efficient son (Vishwajit Rane).

Wrong man, wrong party!

To understand Manohar Parrikar better, read 'Brotherhood of Saffron'
by Walter Anderson and Damle. While he is both hard-working and
efficient, Parrikar would have been nothing in Goa (or anywhere)
without the ideology of saffron and caste-based support.

So, what are we talking about? FN

Carmo,

Pray tell us.all these months..you have been writing innocently to 
the rest of the world with not a dash of sarcasm?? Be it IIT, hockey, 
Stanislaus, Bardez, etc

Nehruvian elitism is what you are espousing with your constant banter of the 
superiority of IITs to detriment of all other Goans who are "cuzners and 
botlers or gulfees". Thousands of these Goans are decent people with far 
greater integrity than ANY politician in Goa.

Manohar is a politician first and everything else next. Just like all 
politicians, the world over! His first objective is to get the kodel; just 
like other politicians the world over. Manohar also had a stint as Chief 
Minister of Goa (that's when I met him); just like some other politicians in 
Goa. We've all seen what he has accomplished. For me, the IFFI 2004 was the 
only issue that registered. Everything else were castles in the air.

> You can try to figure out when and from whom Manohar  took
> bribes when he was CM and you will come up short

But tell me Carmo, does turning the other way to bribe-taking and corruption 
right under him do his reputation any good. What about the awarding of 
contracts. The mismanagement of the INOX contract comes to mind, where the 
state exchequer was short-changed.

> As Goa CM, he will also clean up the currrent mess
> in the Goa Government and we will finally attain Our
> Goa Dourada (Golden Goa) !

Carmoincase you didn't have internet connectivity from 1999-2005, 
Manohar was Chief Minister of Goa and we have all seen what he has achieved. 
Not that the guys who came in before him or after him have done any better.

> Manohar Parrikar has the reputation of a clean politician

That's true.optics play a big part in fooling people; but not all the 
people, all the time. Manohar was an unethical politician, with the means he 
used to GRAB the seat of power in Goa. Says alot about his reputation as far 
as I'm concerned.

The current term of the legislative assembly has done very little 
legislating and alot of destabilising each other. There has been NO interest 
in the people and land of Goa. The only interest has been in assuming the 
kodel !! Manohar has participated in this charade since 1999.

Lastly, Manohar Parrikar is an ex-Chief Minister of Goa. Please don't 
embarass him by perpetually announcing that he "cleaned up the 
organizational mess (kitchen and dining hall)" of a 6000-person IIT-B. We 
are talking about managing the State of Goa; not a kitchen.

Lastly, do you want to take this debate to a wider public audience instead 
of indulging in BCCs ? With one condition - you will have to debate on 
facts; not emotion.
