“If I cannot
bring the necessary order in the Government Hospitals in Goa, then nobody will
ever be able to do”, said once by the first Health Minister of Goa Mr. Karmali.
He used to work day and night to give good service to the Goans just as they
were getting during the Portuguese rule in Goan hospitals. Unfortunately with
his relentless efforts he failed because the rot that we borrowed from Bharat
serkar is too deep rooted in our system and in too short a time. Government hospitals in Goa are plagued not
only by the ill-equipped medical service with some arrogant doctors and rude
nurses but administratively they are very ill administered by the low grade
administrators.
If the
security personnel were a bit courteous and decent things would not have
reached to the level it reached during the trouble between the two ladies and
the Vishwajit Rane at Hospicio Margao. The
security manned by the uncultured personnel most of them are called “Ghanttis” should
be held responsible first and secondly the Minister himself for acting like a
Maharaja and expecting the same type of treatment from the staff and visitors
in the hospitals. This is typical of Ranes behaviour during the Portuguese
regime from whom they enjoyed lot of benefits. And falsely they considered
themselves as anti-Portuguese.
There were “Xemaecheo
Kannio” told us when we were young saying that Rannos were bad people. Most of the bad habbits of those days were
associated with Ranos. They were with the backing of Portuguese serkar living
like Monarchs and acting like Monarchs only.
See that “kalcho-porcho potto” at Hospicio Hospital how he was speaking
as if Goa and Hospicio were his father’s property. He forgot that he was a public servant and
instead he should have maintained certain decorum and not act like those who
failed to show such a decorum while discussing.
Vishwajit
Rane said “I am a minister and not a labourer” and as such he deserved decency
from the ladies arguing with him. Fine,
but he should not expect the treatment of a Monarch though he is Monarch for his
father and mother, for us he is a public servant and as such he must act as a
servant and not as a feudal lord. Good that none of the ladies give a solid
slap on his face though it was looking like happening. But with this incident, assaulting the
Ministers physically and verbally will be a routine happening. Both those ladies
created a base for others to take the law into their hands. There will be more violence now even
kidnapping of Ministers’ children and grand children will take place because
people are disgusted with the Ministers who are spreading lawlessness and
corruption in every segment of our society.
By the way,
can a civilized and decent person treat a corrupt public servant with
decency? This is the big question. Is
Vishwajit Rane not a “fotting”and a traitor? If not then why he deserted
Congress and joined BJP? Is he not a
corrupt? Which good person will respect
him when he does not deserve respect? He has created a fear complex into the
Medicos working in GMC and elsewhere with dire consequesces without proper reason.
This will reflect on Parricar in the next election otherwise he should be sacked from Health Ministry because he is still a KID.
