Goa will finally have a full-fledged Governor by way of PS Sreedharan Pillai. It has been a long wait of almost 11 months. As expected the new Governor may be a BJP man but he is intellectually very sound. Governor Pillai from being a student activist went on to be a very successful advocate and has been a prolific writer. He has the legal acumen and a good academic background to do justice to the governor’s role.
In the last over two decades Goa has seen some very outstanding governors by way of Lt Gen JFR Jacob, Dr SS Sidhu, BV Wanchoo and more recently the formidable Satya Pal Malik, while we have also witnessed and had to put up with some from the other end of the spectrum.
Let us hope our new Governor, PS Sreedharan Pillai will usher the much needed ray of hope for Goa and Goans by being very pro-active in the discharge of his duties and responsibilities as the Constitutional head of our State which today sadly finds itself at crossroads with bad governance and demonstrative paralysis on all fronts.
