As Maurice Staatchi once said, “Simplicity is the goal, not the starting point”, Manohar Parrikar is one person and politician who with his nature and honest perspectives, has already achieved this goal. Like most others who were inspired by Goa’s Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, are now continuing to get impressed by current Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.
Looking at the present confrontations held by Parrikar against previous Defence Minister regarding Augusta Scam is just one reason why we might think that he is the best defence minister by far. Let us look dig deeper into these few reasons which actually are enough to prove the worth of a true defence minister and which can be seen in Mr Parrikar.
-
Parrikar is a believer of “Desperate times call for desperate measures”
Myanmar strike is the best example where Parrikar did not hesitate in taking strong fire-for-fire measures against terrorist attacks. Around 50 terrorists were killed as a testament to this fact.
-
Parrikar is a “No-nonsense man”
Any amount of baseless talks are useless to utter in front of him. He knows what is correct and goes by that. The Defence Ministry has definitely taken this image of his very seriously and works accordingly.
-
Parrikar is a great motivator and morale booster
His visit to Jammu & Kashmir twice within 6 months after becoming the Defence Minister shows how dedicated he is to motivate the army and its soldiers in J&K.
-
Parrikar is the 1st IIT graduate to become a CM and now a Defence Minister
As a predecessor of Arvind Kejriwal, Parrikar was the one who became the first reputedly educated CM. Good education surely matters a lot when that person is at such esteemed and responsible posts.
-
Parrikar is highly pro-active
Be it the OROP implementation or the Rafale Jet Deal, Parrikar and his working force has been managing the critical issues pertaining to national security extremely well.
