With the death of our dear former Chief Secretary Dr. J.C. Almeida we have lost yet another great Goan. Dr. J.C. Almeida was a distinguished administrator and a dear friend to the student community. It was due to his untiring efforts that during the 1979 student agitation, he managed to prevail upon the then Government […]

THE BATTLE AGAINST CORRUPTION AND INJUSTICE MUST NEVER STOP
For the last over 40 years raising issues against the illegalities of successive governments has not been an easy task. Truth hurts but it is only truth that will always ultimately prevail. On the issues that I have raised for decades it has been the wrong doings of those in power regardless of which party has been ruling. During […]
GOA’S POLITICAL JUGGLER VIJAI SARDESAI
On 14th November 2016 at a public meeting in Margao Vijai Sardesai had vehemently slammed the BJP, Narendra Modi and Manohar Parrikar. But in less than four months on 11th March 2017 for the lust of that Power and Moolah he shamelessly fell to their very feet. An unprecedented level of Political Prostitution and […]
A WITCH-HUNT AGAINST VIMAL GUPTA
DIG Vimal Gupta who is with the Goa Police from October 2015 has been known to be a very upright and a no-nonsense officer not cowing down to the diktats of the politicians in Power. So now the allegations being made against him could be well fabricated to target and embarrass a very fine IPS […]
REMEMBERING CHANDRAKANT BAB KENI
Today 25th November is late Chandrakant Keni’s 83rd birth anniversary. Chandrakant Keni as an icon of the Konkani movement and the Opinion Poll dedicated his life to draw the country’s attention to his native language. If Goa has retained some separate identity, a considerable credit goes to the determined hard work behind the scenes by Goa’s great son […]
GOA’S DOOM IS NOW ON FAST TRACK
Tomorrow November 23rd will be another very dark day for Goa while the Town & Country Planning Board will officially empower the devious Town & Country Planning Minister Vijai Sardesai to accelerate the doom and destruction of what remains of Goa. The Board will surely approve the creation of more politically motivated PDAs and will […]
MANOHAR PARRIKAR IS THE MAIN CULPRIT IN THE GOA MINING SCAM
For over five years Manohar Parrikar has been keeping us entertained with that promise to recover those Rs 35,000 crores looted in the Goa Mining scam. But the writing is on the wall. No one will be punished and not a paisa will be recovered. The current very partisan probe is an exercise in futility which will […]
MOST OF THE PRESS IN GOA IS GAGGED AND CAGED
The Press, like the Judiciary, has to be free from political, government or any other interference. In fact, it is the solemn professional duty of every journalist to be totally independent and unbiased with no leanings whatsoever towards any political party or politician. This holds good equally to those in print media as well as […]
THE SALARIES AND PERKS OF MINISTERS & MLAS MUST INFACT BE SLASHED
The uncalled for move by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar to further increase the salaries of the already over fattened Ministers and MLAs is outrageous. And Manohar Parrikar’s insane justification that with a raise in salaries, the MLAs will not indulge in corruption is yet another prank. He seems to be losing his last marbles. Politics today […]
CHARGESHEETED ANIL HOBLE MUST BE SACKED AS OBC CHAIRMAN
The charge sheeted Goa BJP Vice-President Anil Hoble must be immediately sacked as the Chairman of the State owned OBC Corporation. The BJP while in the Opposition had demanded the resignation of politicians against whom even an F.I.R was registered. Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar must now walk that talk after Anil Hoble has been charge […]
