Under the current BJP Govt there seems to be increasing trend with individuals, entities, companies affiliated with the BJP at the centre, to set up biggest centres in Goa The latest being the announcement of the biggest Patanjali facility under Baba Ramdev to be set up in Goa. It’s another matter that, although I have respect for Ayurveda or wellness, I highly suspect the products and business ways of Patanjali. And concern has also been vetted by many reputed entities and even by Supreme Court of India. The main concern here is under some pretext or the other, these outside players assisted by senior Goan BJP ministers are out to sort of grab as much of Goan land as possible. Goans must be concerned about these massive real estate parcels being purchased by these outside players who I think, have their close political links with Central politicians. In the latter regard, the late CM Manohar Parrikar had some spine where he did reject some things not in the interests of Goa.
