A rare politician with integrity, simplicity and hardwork as genuine virtues
A rare phenomenon in politics called honesty, simplicity and integrity made an untimely exit today.
Manohar Parrikar, an ideal role model for younger generation of politicians, an engineer par excellence and above all, a person full of modesty and humility was needed most when the nation is undergoing a makeover to its image to call itself a resurgent India.
Parrikar came from a state known for its natural beauty, beaches, adorable people and having least impact on national politics.
A state dominated by Pratapsinh Rane, Ravi Naik and natural occupier of the CM’s post called Congress, it was Parrikar who slowly but firmly built his party BJP and created an aura for himself and his party which will be indomitable to overcome in the state of Goa for years to come.
Sincerity and integrity are said to be two most important parameters for any engineer who wants to build a platform for the future. Parrikar used these qualities par excellence to make a difference to Goa when it was more known for Casinos and mining mafias and then as obedient servant of BJP to move to Delhi as Defence Minister without even a flip in his thoughts.
Whatever the role, it was always a matter of analysis and getting into new shoes for Parrikar. A transition from Panji to Delhi with full of uncertainty in a new city, seasoned bureaucracy and no prior experience of handling the central ministry would have given jitters to any leader but not Parrikar.
As Chowkidar of defence ministry, he was part of a legacy which made two biggest contributions to the nation, one being the surgical strike on our notorious neighbour and then giving India’s depleted forces a much awaited combat aircraft in the form of Rafale
For ages, we have learnt and read Indian forces are capable to combat but it was under Parrikar that the forces could open the fire to showcase the supremacy.
As they say, party is supreme, so said Parrikar and he left back to Goa never to return to Delhi and limelight.
It was extremely disappointing to see him being dragged in Rafale controversy when he was counting last days of his life. As part of tradition, those who were behind him will definitely pay condolences but the scar left on a man with ‘Nation First’ psyche will be difficult to accept and understand.
We will always remain indebted to him for it was he who taught us to rejuvenate and respond ‘High (Parrikar) Sir !’ when anyone pushes us to test our spirits and make us respond to “How’s the JOSH?â€
Goans have lost their son and the nation faces an irreplaceable loss of one of its most humble brave soldier in Parrikar.
May the soul of Manohar Parrikar rest in peace and his smiling face remain in our hearts forever.
