While as the Leader of the Opposition Manohar Parrikar had consistently and vehemently opposed the Casinos while branding them as a ‘social evil’ and had vowed to throw them out of the River Mandovi if he came to power. Manohar Parrikar had called Casinos as dens of vice, and had even led an agitation to demand their closure. But since coming to power on March 9th 2012 Manohar Parrikar is firmly aboard in love with the Casino brigade. We all know why the Casinos are today enjoying Chief Minister’s total patronage and unstinted support. The awful side effects and the irreversible after effects of Casinos are there for all to see. They are known to provide other services besides gambling to its rich and mighty customers. The government should have taken remedial measures to arrest the alarming crime levels and the degradation in social standards that Goa is sadly witnessing today. One would have expected the Chief Minister to be at least sensible especially since his close family member has fallen victim after frequenting the Casinos. But Manohar Parrikar has got his priorities wrong. For this U Turn made on the Casino issue the people of Goa may never forgive the Chief Minister.
