Late CM Manohar Parrikar despite his U-turns must be appreciated for few things like having a spine to reject double tracking which he clearly stated was being planned for coal expansion in/via Goa. I have watched late Manohar Parrikar’s video against railways double tracking numerous times and it was very clear that he did not want double tracking in Goa. He even stated that double tracking was being done to favour MPT and Goa does not need double tracking but instead can manage effectively with single track. He stated multiple times that he was very clear with the latter stance of the then BJP govt. The Goa CM instead of doing superficial things (in hypocrisy) to honour late Parrikar like samadhi and other official events should have a spine and stand up for what Parrikar stood for.This current BJP government appears to me totally compromised by the coal lobby and MPT. I wonder if Utpal Parrikar can join this anti-coal movement and save this late father’s legacy. This is my request to him.
