Early life[]

Vinoda Paliencar obtained a Bachelor of Arts (Sangeet Visharad) degree in classical music in 1988 from the Akhil Bharatiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya Mandal, Miraj.[6] Paliencar is a disciple of Pandit Jitendra Abhisheki.[13]

Political career[]

Paliencar served as a panch of the Siolim-Marna Panchayat.[14][15] His brother Uday Paliencar had unsuccessfully contested the 2012 Goa Legislative Assembly election as a candidate of the Indian National Congress from the Siolim constituency.[16][17][18]

Paliencar quit the Indian National Congress to join the Goa Forward Party on 11 October 2016[5][19] He contested the 2017 Goa Legislative Assembly election as a candidate of the Goa Forward Party from the Siolim constituency and defeated the Bharatiya Janata Party's Dayanand Mandrekar who was elected from Siolim for continuous four terms[20] and was considered a political heavyweight.[21] On 12 July 2017, Paliencar was appointed the in-charge of the OBC wing of the Goa Forward Party.[12]

Cabinet Minister[]

After the Bharatiya Janata Party led by Manohar Parrikar formed the government after the 2017 Assembly elections with the support of the Goa Forward, Paliencar was sworn in as a cabinet Minister on 14 March 2017.[22] He was allotted the portfolios of Fisheries and Water Resources Department.[23]

After being appointed a cabinet Minister paid a surprise visit to the Water Resources Department's office at Porvorim and found that while some officials were not present in the office, others were sleeping during office hours. A memorandum was served to the erring officials.[24][25] Paliencar demanded a complete ban on rave parties on Goa's beaches and alleged there the police were turning a blind eye to such parties.[26][27] Paliencar said in an interview that he was 'pressurized' for his stand against the late night rave parties.[28]

Paliencar introduced a scheme named Nital Goem, Nital Baim[29] under which the Water Resources Department shall provide subsidy up to Rs. 50,000/- for the rejuvenation of wells in Goa.[30][31][32]

Stance on Mhadei river[]

After the controversy resulting out of Chief Minister of Goa Manohar Parrikar's letter to the Karnataka BJP President B. S. Yeddyurappa, Paliencar suggested that Parrikar's letter was a political stunt and categorically stated that (we will) not give a single drop of (Mhadei's) water to Karnataka.[33][34][35]

Controversy[]

After visiting the Kalasa-Banduri Nala project site on 13 January 2018, Paliencar while accusing Karnataka of diverting the water of Mhadei river referred to the people of Karnataka as harami.[36][37] but later admitted that he had used the expletive at the spur of the moment.[38] He requested the media to expunge the abusive word.[39]

Paliencar's comments sparked protests in Karnataka and political leaders including Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Karnataka BJP President B. S. Yeddyurappa demanded an apology.[40] After an outrage of social media and demands for an apology, Paliencar through his Twitter account claimed that The so-called abusive words were misquoted & reported by Journalist without being present for press conference.[41]
