Perspective
Casinos & government: Marriage of CHOICE, not CHANCE
It’s an interesting marriage, where the bride remains the same and the groom keeps changing. While the Congress was instrumental in bringing off casinos into the Mandovi in the guise of ‘gaming” and it was Pratap Singh Rane who signed on the dotted line for the first casinos to move in, the BJP in power has been more than wedded to the industry, which has faced a fair degree of social flak. Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar’s statement that it is difficult to move casinos out of the Mandovi because it would impact the businesses of casinos is ample evidence of which side the government is on.
