Let Goa not be sacrificed on Mhadei diversion issue

The BJP government in India is inebriated with the politics of power at any costs throwing responsible governance to the winds. The statement by the Home Minister Amit Shah that the Mhadei water dispute is resolved is solely in order to win in the Karnataka elections. The Home Minister is trying to play a double role for the purpose of political gains. The matter is sub-judice and thus the Home Minister should not have made this statement until the Supreme Court gives a verdict. It must be recalled that the people of Karnataka gave a mandate to the Congress and that the BJP engineered defection and formed a government against the democratic mandate of the people. The same happened in Madhya Pradesh where the clear mandate was for the Congress that had formed a government there and again the lust for power made the BJP to infringe and form a government. How long is the Chief Minister of Goa going to remain a puppet in the hands of the Centre? A fair and equitable solution to the Madhei issue that does not compromise Goa's interests should be the solution.
