TIME TO LAY GOA FORWARD TO ETERNAL REST
After having fooled the people of Goa by selfishly opting for Power and Money over Principles, the now very discredited, disreputed and dishonoured Goa Forward Party should stop dreaming of expanding into other constituencies. At the first available opportunity they will be given a very sound political thrashing in their current constituencies of Fatorda, Saligao […]

A BJP MUKT BHARAT IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a good talker and a master in rhetoric theatrical blabbering. But the nation has now realized this and will not be fooled anymore.

RIBANDAR IN A BUNDLE OF FAILED PROMISES

This is infact […]
A LAUDABLE MOVE BY THE SUPREME COURT
It is extremely heartening that the Supreme Court has finally opened up its doors to transparency in matters concerning to judicial appointments.
