The Chairmanship of Goa State Infrastructure Development Corporation (GSIDC) is a much sought after position. Surprisingly Chief Minister Pramod Sawant is also the chairman of this corporation, a post he had occupied earlier too.
It would be proper that a full time chairman for GSIDC, preferably a worthy senior retired engineer is appointed to ensure quality control in every work being carried out as shoddy construction activity is there for all to see. And it is surprising that the chief minister has announced that he will also be the chairman of the Goa Mining Corporation which is being formed.
Maybe by the chief minister holding too much power in his hands it is affecting the basic governance of the State. He could fall between two stools trying to do two or more different things at once and failing at all. Doing away with that red beacon was a good start towards curbing VIP culture. But much more needs to be done. Why does our chief minister have to be accompanied by an entourage of three police escort jeeps. Can't he just move around like his fellow ministers do?
