It was alarming to read in local Marathi daily that the Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, at a Canacona function, reportedly threatened those opposing the Mhaje Ghar scheme. Is this the way politics should work ” by silencing citizens and giving away land or houses that do not belong to the government? What are middle-class Goans supposed to do? Honourable CM, you are a public servant, elected to serve the people, not to intimidate them. Goans are peaceful, not submissive. Please do not invoke historical figures like Shivaji Maharaj to gain sympathy ” leadership is shown through action, not comparison. Lead with honesty, dignity, and transparency, like Goa’s respected past leaders Bhau Saheb, VS Karmali and Gopalrao Mayekar. Give true happiness to Goans and show that you are genuinely committed to their welfare.
