One wonders whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi is serious on his recent concern that the Drug menace is a national pain. In Goa while as the Leader of the Opposition Manohar Parrikar had consistently and vehemently opposed Casinos while branding them as a ‘social evil’ and had vowed to throw them out if he came to power. Manohar Parrikar had branded Casinos as dens of vice” and had even led an agitation to demand their closure. But in a dramatic U turn after coming to power on March 9th 2012 he allowed yet another Casino the monstrous ‘M.V. Horseshoe’ owned by Jaydev Mody the son-in-law of the politically well connected former Attorney General of India Soli Sorabjee. The BJP in Goa has since fallen in love with the Casino brigade which is now getting the government’s total patronage and profuse support. While the BJP is feasting and making merry with the abundant funds flowing from the Casinos, Goa has sadly become the country’s gambling hub with the allied vices of prostitution and the narcotics trade also flourishing by the day. So NaMo should walk the talk and end the Casino menace in Goa instead of continuing to fool the nation with all his empty rhetoric. Do not try to keep us entertained with your Mann ki Baat, we would be content with some ‘Sachi Baat’. Are you listening Mr. Prime Minister?
