It is now a few days back that the Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant giving the Press briefing to media personnel informing how things are moving and steps his government has taken so far to minimize or to eradicate completely the effects of the Corona Virus on Goan population. Since he started his briefing, I have been watching him carefully and marking his body language too. Yesterday, when I watched him briefing the media personnel, I found him very dejectedlike person and as if he is rejected from his circle of Ministers and MLA’s. His face looks like that of a baby who has been scolded by the mother for playing mischief with other colleagues.
So much so, it looks to me that in Delhi he is isolated and our contact there was almost lost, it is no more what it was during the CMship of Parricar who not only established his contact well but also maintained it well. This Sawant cannot do because he is just a raw and being so how could attain that much of maturity? Because he is not well matured and not well advanced his level is that of a youth fit for playing the games, Parricar while on his death bed selected Sawant to take over from him which he did. Parricar it seems knew very well Sawant is unfit to sit on the Chair which he already occupied thru rightly and wrongly. Parricar wanted to be remembered very well even in his death and because it is so, he pushed Sawant’s candidature for the post of CM. The greater the weakness of Sawant the greater is the efficiency of Parricar and hence the greater is the popularity of Parricar.
Pramod Sawant is not maintaining the track of his arguments, he jumps from “Maddar to Peddar” and thus loses his track. He is losing his logic of talking. Take one incident of the supply of some necessary items from the shops and grocery shops. He said grocery shops will be kept opened that means when groceries are opened then there is an open invitation for the public to go to these groceries and buy their requirements. But on the other hand after a few seconds Sawant instructs the same people, he not only instructs but pleads with them in his folded hands not to move out of your houses. In this case, who will supply the necessities without going yourself personally to the shop? The CM failed miserably in organising the home delivery system because Sawant is unfit to cope up with vigours of this critical job.
Sawant must know one thing that there is one proverb in our Goan language Konkani saying “Karveank nhoi khuim ghorvam ani Rendrank nhoi khuim Tarvam”.
It looks to me that Sawant is having lot of opposition for his CM’ship and if all is not going well he may face rough weather. He is indicating lot of weaknesses in dealing with this Corona Virus, the crisis that we are facing now are very bad and such dangers have to be averted with utmost care, knowledge and patience by taking the people towards you.
Meantime, why cannot help in doing something for the delivery system by all the political parties by joining together? As things are moving now, nothing is organized that means are we facing the disaster? Why there is silence from Goa-Goykar-Goykarpon?
