Twist to a mining tale
Joaquim D’Souza, Fatorda
The deliberations in the Legislative Assembly on the July 16, projected a few interesting inferences. Starting with our Manohar  Parrikar, the  chief minister,  provided a veritable twist to his own ‘mining tale’. The GVK supremo  Micky Pacheco waxed on the wanton corruption of the erstwhile regime,whose extent was so widely known in Goa that it manifested in telling numbers of the electorate. The  mining scams was well documented in his PAC Report by Manohar  Parrikar, in his earlier role as the Leader of Opposition
Therefore, the current contortions that all is legal is getting curioser by the day.Fortunately, Pacheco asked that the PAC report be tabled on the  House. It is to be seen how the chief minister  reconciles his extreme positions, at two different times.
 It is important to categorise the main points since the proposed  reports could have a flood of data attachments, which would effectively paper down  under the salient points of the mining scam.
The vigilant village  group of Goa , Satari ,Quepem and Sanguem should similarly keep focussed on the macros, to avoid being obfuscated by the twists and turns in the ratty tales. Goans voted to clean up Goa and elected Manohar  Parrikar to do the job. In case of divergence, in the agenda, it would be necessary for Goans to enforce it in any other way.
