LOL! Looks like some serious corruption is about to go down.

 

[Śakra]

Ridiculous. Arun can barely handle being FM, how do u expect him to be DM in addition?

 

[Hassan Guy]

Can someone give a brief background on this guy?

 

[RISING SUN]

Ridiculous. Arun can barely handle being FM, how do u expect him to be DM in addition?

That means new DM will be appointed in near future. As Mr. Jetley has already overseen defense ministry, I believe he will be able to take over job for minimum possible time till New DM is chosen & appointed. I believe it shows the weakness of BJP in Goa but also presents the case that they are not in hurry to assign defense ministry in non capable hands.

 

[Turingsage]

This shows moronic stupidity. Finance itself requires many competent hands to deliver the desperately required reforms. This finance ministers success rate in that dept can only be described as underwhelming.
Now he is going to run defence as well ???? For a country the size of India ??? With so many complex issues to be resolved and energetically pursued ???

Its sad to see the saffron chadis have such a dearth of even moderately capable ministers that they have to recycle old formulas to keep the ship from completely running aground.

Nonsense...... They think Goa is important than a good DM.....

of course it is... They want that CM position...

Its sad to see the saffron chadis have such a dearth of even moderately capable ministers that they have to recycle old formulas to keep the ship from completely running aground.

Yes unlike you guys we sadly don't have someone as strong, capable and decisive as his holinees st. Anthony to run defence ministry.

 

[NakedLunch]

This appointment is a surprise. A welcome surprise! Thank you Modi, thank you very much.

 

[Turingsage]

Yes unlike you guys we sadly don't have someone as strong, capable and decisive as his holinees st. Anthony to run defence ministry.

I support a right of centre view. Never congress who I freely criticized ruthlessly. But unlike you, I have a brain of my very own. Such a phenomena might be new to you, it allows me to think for myself, again a concept you are clearly unfamiliar with.

 

[nair]

of course it is... They want that CM position...

Yeah, you can see that...... Goa is the most important state in India.... and with out that Modi govt would be in trouble.....

 

[Laozi]

The kind of signing spree in defence deals this Modi Government has shown in last two and a half years, Now desperately requires someone to look at the financial aspects of the commitments
