PANJIM: Breaking his silence over the political crisis in Goa triggered by his proposed re-induction in the Cabinet, controversial NCP legislator Fransisco Mickey Pacheco on Monday said it is the prerogative of his party to make him a minister and Congress should not interfere in it.
"It's a prerogative of the Chief Minister to induct any Minister if the Government is of single party. But here in Goa, we have a pre-poll alliance with the Congress and hence they should respect the views of NCP," he said today.
The tainted MLA is in the news after a group of Congress legislators opposed his re-induction in the Cabinet on the ground that he was facing criminal cases.
Congress General Secretary in-charge of Goa B K Hariprasad has said the return of Pacheco would be problematic for the party, which is heading a coalition government.
Pacheco, who had maintained silence over the issue for nearly a fortnight, said he is surprised the way Congress legislators "ganged up" against him.
"They talk of a murder case against me. It's a fabricated case. The way everyone ganged up against me proves that they are afraid of my presence in the Cabinet," the former Tourism Minister said.
Pacheco stepped down in June after his name was embroiled in the controversy related to death of his friend Nadia Torrado. The 46-year-old lawmaker said his re-induction has been decided by NCP high command after much deliberation.
"I am thankful to NCP high command for selecting my name for Ministership," he said, adding Congress will have to respect NCP as the two political parties are allies. – PTI
Give Mickey Pacheco the Minister's Kodel as he is the highly qualified chap in the Dig-n-bhor cabinet. The Kodel can be used to keep the carpet intact.

Special status for Goa: A Goa of the people, for the people! We need it now! --------
ReplyDeleteSonia Torrad, I mean TORRAD is back in business in Loyala High School, Margao, teaching her students how to brush their teeth with Ratolearly morning. The Principal of Loyala is another shining example who demonstrates his own teeth every morning in the regular assembly. Thanks to Sonia TORRAD, she has made everything TORRAD and ready for anyone who would like to have everything soft but TORRAD.
ReplyDeleteThe moment Mickey Xek-xekoi becomes a Minister, the Torrad thing will be back in demand. Have you mede your BOOKING? Ratol, plenty available, book on the spot with TWP.
Goans with their kindness, good nature and honesty had put Goa on the worlds map as a place of interest to visit. Our ministers with their criminal activities such as rapes, murders and drug dealings have tarnished the name of Goa in a very short period. If they do die in a mass suicide (which I wish) never bury them together as they will seek power beyond the grave. Neither Congress or BJP are of any interest to the citizens of Goa.
