The government should come out with a white paper as to in which way IFFI is beneficial to Goa and Goans.This annual extravaganza is definitely a colossal waste of public money. An unnecessary and unjustified drain on the State exchequer. The Government should get its priorities right.
Instead of focusing on good roads, uninterrupted power supply, regular water and good health care facilities for the local people the government keeps pumping crores down the drain on IFFI. To the thousands of senior citizens whose old age pension applications cannot be processed for lack of funds, the IFFI tamasha is no solace.
To some IFFI may be a feast with those politicians and their contractor chums rejoicing on the quick dividends they can amass and swallow in hurriedly and shabbily executed works in the name of IFFI.
In all that it does a good government should focus on the common man’s vows. Public funds and government machinery should not be misused for one’s personal benefit. One should not wine, dine and make merry at the cost of the State exchequer. But this is a government which likes to spend. It's a crore a year even on the Advocate General. There has to be transparency and accountability in every paisa spent from the State exchequer. Goa cannot continue to be forever hospitable. It’s time to assess what benefit the state gets from any event it hosts.
