Rahulm, I worked in Goa decades ago. Then it was beautiful and VERY CLEAN. But not anymore.
SInce 10 years, I have just cause to go to Goa every year. Its depressing - what it could have been - a model - a showcase state in governance, cleanliness, law and order, politeness etc (all the things that make life pleasant) and what it has become. The taxi mafia, the land mafia and worse (not posting here). Today even piped water is an issue. Rationed out in similar frequency to godforsaken Wardha and Wani in MH ( I know - I go to Goa and VIdharbha every year coz Pune has become an insufferable city for me).
And in Goa there is no didi or pappu to blame. It's been a bhajpa bastion more or less for a very long time.

Defence Budget 2026: Govt lifts defence spending to 11% of GDP, outlay jumps 21% to ₹5.95 lakh crore
https://www.cnbctv18.com/budget/defence ... 836777.htm
In the Budget 2026 presented on February 1, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised India’s defence allocation, with higher spending expected on capital equipment, modernisation and domestic manufacturing.
India stepped up its defence spending in the Union Budget 2026, with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announcing an outlay of ₹5.95 lakh crore on February 1, up 21% from last year’s Budgeted ₹4.92 lakh crore allocation. The increase includes a 21% rise in overall defence capital expenditure, underlining the government’s emphasis on long-term capability building. As a result, defence spending has risen to 11% of GDP in FY26, from around 8% in the previous year.
11% of GDP? this cant be right...
Rough calculation is 5.95 lakh crore is 80 billion dollars out of 4400 billion dollar GDP. Should be around 1.8% of GDP. I will be very happy if they spend that much.
Here is the official allocation percentage: I am not sure where the 11% came from.
Defence: 14.68% (highest allocation, ~20% increase)
States' Share of Taxes & Duties: 22%
Interest Payments: 20%
Central Sector Schemes: 17%
Centrally Sponsored Schemes: 7%
Finance Commission/Other Transfers: 8%
Pensions: 2%
Other Expenditures: 7%
