Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar’s statement that he is ready to give Karnataka ‘drinking’ water is the biggest joke of 2017. At the most the government could part with water as a policy, but by no stretch of imagination it can be for ‘drinking’ water, unless he sets up a special pipeline from Opa water works […]

A PLEA TO MY BISHOP
Very disturbing and extremely anguishing is the ongoing turmoil within the Parishioners of Sancoale over the controversial sudden alternative arrangements being made for the ensuing Feast of St Joseph Vaz scheduled for January 16th. I am personally outraged and very saddened the manner in which the Goa Church without a proper consultative process has mishandled […]
FOR THE VILLAIN ATMARAM NADKARNI, THE MHADEI WATER DISPUTE HAS BEEN A GOLD MINE
Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar now stands totally exposed on the Mhadei water dispute drama. After the Goa Government having squandered crores of rupees by way of legal fees paid to Atmaram Nadkarni and his bandwagon of advocates, it was very high-handed on the part of the Chief Minister for having caved in on BJP’s […]
THE DARKEST DAY OF 2017
2017 will soon be history but the darkest day of the year for Goa was March 11th, when the Goa Forward trio led by Vijai Sardesai in conjunction with Rohan Khaunte betrayed the people of Goa by their sheer political chicanery in an overnight avarice aligned with their political rivals the BJP. Vijai Sardesai, Jayesh […]
THE RTI ACT NEEDS TO BE STRENGTHENED
The Right to Information Act which came into force on October 12th 2005 is now over a decade old. Over the last 12 years however the greater challenge has been the actual implementation of the Act. Unless the RTI Act is further strengthened Good Governance, Transparency in the Administration and Zero Tolerance to Corruption will never be […]
THE SCAM & CRACKS RIDDEN MIRAMAR-DONA PAULA CONCRETE ROAD STILL INCOMPLETE
Just before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar very recklessly and without application of mind whatsoever decided to hurriedly tender the concretization of the Miramar–Dona Paula Road for a whopping over 72 crores. It was obviously done to bolster the much needed party funds for those elections and to also possibly enable some leaders pocket a […]
IN GUJARAT BJP WON – BJP LOST
Despite all that abundant money and muscle power at hand, the BJP even after all the sheer misuse of its administrative authority was not able to woo the people of Gujarat. That they just managed to scrape through in the home State of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah which has been a saffron […]
THANK YOU MY GOA
A very humble big thank you to all my dear friends and well-wishers who as always over the last three weeks too have stood solidly behind me by showing their care and concern after that 27th November attack on me. The false and fabricated complaint filed against me was to deflect the attention of the […]
PANAJI’S WHITE ELEPHANT
The much talked about Panaji’s first multi-level car park which opened in November last year and is hardly utilized even during the peak tourist season is a glaring example of the slanted planning of so called developmental works by this government. What a criminal waste of public funds. Panaji will never be a Smart City […]
