In the death of Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, not only Goa but complete nation has lost a leading politician who had a reare quality of austerity and simplicity rarely seen in politicians of present era seen travelling in public-bus or scooter while being a Chief Minister even seen purchasing milk, newspaper for his family from street-booths, this being the reason of his running state-government despite his party BJP being in minority. He could even been seen in queues at airports setting aside usual protocol available for Union Minister or state Chief Minister.
His lust for duty and responsibility is evident by his working whole heartedly with medical-tubes fitted on his nose while performing his task as state Chief Minister both indoor and outdoor. Even opposition could not raise voice for fall of his government because of his unique personality.
Unlike distributing Bharat Ratna for political gains, such rare type of persons in politics deserve highest nation of the honour also for motivating politicians in general to adopt his life-style of simplicity, austerity and hard work in odd-most medical condition.
