The Speaker of the Goa Legislative Assembly Ramesh Tawadkar owes an unconditional apology to the people of Goa for his total mismanagement and unlawful partisan handling of Goa’s Legislature Secretariat.
On becoming Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar should have severed all his ties with the BJP and at least attempted to be non-partisan and a truly neutral Speaker. But on the contrary he has let loose a veil of secrecy in the functioning of the Assembly Secretariat making it yet another RSS fortress.
Ramesh Tawadkar was duty bound to act against all those MLA car stickers which have been doled out to all and sundry with now even some anti-social elements merrily moving around brandishing those stickers on the windshield of their cars. The least that was expected from the Speaker was for him to lodge a First Information Report so that the Police could have investigated this widespread misuse of stickers which were meant for vehicles of MLAs only but are now being misused by anyone and everyone. A very sad and sordid unacceptable state of affairs.
And will Ramesh Tawadkar please explain to the people of Goa as to how he is illegally moving with two police escort jeeps, a perk and privilege that a Speaker is not entitled to.
Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar should get his act together and restore sanity at the Goa Legislature Secretariat or alternatively put in his papers and go back to learning some lessons of democratic principles and good governance.
