After all that we have witnessed over the last three years with him as Chief Minister, with even cash for jobs, it is ludicrous that Pramod Sawant after being chosen to be the Chief Minister again has had the nerve to assure us that his government would show zero tolerance to corruption. Can Sawant please explain to us how he has acquired such huge properties and enormous wealth after venturing into politics?
Possibly for the first time in these elections the BJP has distributed abundant money to voters in every constituency across Goa. So their priority would now obviously be to swiftly recover it all and this will happen through organized corruption.
And with those aspiring to be ministers eyeing plumb portfolios what do we presume is the intent?
As a step towards combating corruption, will Sawant dare make all transactions in casinos cashless so that the flow of black money is aborted?
He could also prove his bonafides by respecting the Supreme Court judgement that those facing criminal charges should not be inducted into the cabinet as two MLAs aspiring to be ministers are currently facing trial for very serious criminal offences.
We shall soon know whether Pramod Sawant is really sincere on starting his second innings on a clean slate.
