Goa govt feeling Manohar Parrikar's absence, CAC unable to handle situation: Minister


Panaji, Apr 5(PTI): Goa's art and culture minister Govind Gawade said on Thursday the Cabinet Advisory Committee (CAC), formed to guide the state administration in absence of chief minister Manohar Parrikar, is "not in a position to handle the situation".

Parrikar, before leaving for the US in the first week of March for treatment of a pancreatic ailment, had informed governor Mridula Sinha about the interim arrangement of CAC.

The committee comprises Vijai Sardesai of the Goa Forward Party, Francis D'Souza of the BJP and Sudin Dhavalikar of the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party.

Gawade, an independent legislator from Priol in north Goa who had supported the formation of a Parrikar government in March last year, said it was an "open secret" that it was "difficult" to run the government in the chief minister's absence.

"It is obvious that we are feeling his absence," he said.

"The Cabinet Advisory Committee is not in a position to handle the situation," he added.

Gawade said the situation would be normal only after Parrikar returned to Goa and took over the reins of the government.

    No government can run on 'Video conference'. It need total dedication of Peoples representative.
    BJP is Goa came to power with blessing of Governor through backdoor stitching regional parties is afraid of falling apart.
    CM Manohar Parrikar's absence is genuine considering is health. Do Goa has Deputy Chief Minister?

    Cabinet Advisory Committee (CAC) is not legal framework under the constitution of India. Let the BJP appoint someone equal to or better than Parrikar for a while.

    The state can't be in suspended mode if Chief Minister is sick.

    No deputy CM in Goa or displaying pseudo trust in Parrikar?. No BJP ministers including Parrikar are invincible. If Yogi and Yeddy as CMs and BJP cabinet ministers could do this job for BJP any Tom, Dick and Harry can do this name sake job for BJP the BJP way.
