Government of Goa under Mr. Parikkar regime not very
much friendly with goans. See we have too much
health problmes but keeping aside he put his hand
for nonse task. First health minister are not capable to
solve goa problmes. Keeping in mind first task to
look into mosquitos every corner of south and north.
This is not his task and duty just minister fit for nothing.
.
They occupy only chair being a minister. They talk
about Chatrapati Shivaji to be conculed english book
about his life profile. Who is Shivaji he has nothing to
do goa. Goans and Goa have tremendous and
dedicated hero such as Jack De Sequire etc. why non
goans to be honoured Mr. Parikkar? You can make out
still marathi manos try to meddle goa with back door
merge and bring goa under marathi regime. People
must think over before such leaders still have hidden
agenda you can say marathi blood and not pure
goans.
