The inuocous remark of the CM has received not too a polite retort by Satypal Malik ,while accusing the former of improper language .The CM is not known to be offensive or caustic in his responses and has maintained polite , dignified respectful behaviour The Governor who was in J&K is finding the atmosphere here too cold for his dominant attitude and authoritarian streak in a completely different settings He has proved to be no nonsense Head during tumultuous period and exercised his authority with no holes bared approach .He has dealt with high and mighty including the political heavy weights .He feels that he has nothing to lose coming from one and half room residence and can be transferred not sacked He has authored tough and unconventional approach in J&K while displaying soft and mild impressions. while taking harsh independent decisions. There is not much room for political drama here and to assert his authority except that the disgruntled political elements get spring to wake up from political slumber. He is known to be more than accommodating giving opposing audiences a patient hearings to their grumblings and frustration and ,which is miss interpreted as cooperation for brewing revolts One is at a loss why such a known tough authority is suddenly posted as Goa Governor to relax after a hard innings of pressure and tensions and where there is no fertile ground for his interventions Goa in the past has dubious record of worst kind in change of Govts , but is not a sensitive law and order state of India .Presently there is a stable BJP Govt and with hand picked , acceptable successor from oblivion . Besides the curtain is already drawn on drama of defections, unless trouble is fermenting over disqualification petition being delayed in defiance of SC directions to dispose it in time bound manner , In such a circumstance the prominent role of Governor will cone to fore One need not be supper sensitive and take umbrage of a rare ,unintentional remark as uncivilised to rake up a storm to prove existence and superiority and unless one is inkling for an excuse. CM is far from being boisterous or arrogant but his mild nature and not so assertive authority has seem him through so far not being in the mould of his authoritarian predecessors .Hopefully the storm in a tea cup will blow over and the highest constitutional authorities will work in unison at the time of crisis of pandemic and not on ego appetite to assert supremacy Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
