TCP minister taking Goans for a ride?


It is reported that the TCP Minister has asked the public to use social media for any irregularities in the TCP Department. Is this another ploy to take the people for a ride?

It seems like the game Chor-Police. If the chor is not ‘caught’ he goes free! Is it the duty of the public to police his department? What is the guarantee of any action if the official is caught? 

The minister should also look into how TCP sanctioned scores of mega projects leaving locals to bear the brunt of erratic power and water supply while the new owners in mega housing projects have power and water 24x7 including water for swimming pools.  

What about his role in allotting 99 per cent GMC jobs to his constituency? And the oxygen shortages at GMC in the 2020? 

Now he says Goa is ‘too’ small for the Tiger Reserve. The Minister has been voted to power by people who gained jobs at the cost of more competent Goans. 

It seems he now has been bestowed divine knowledge and does not need advice from anyone.
