While the controversial Goa Forward Party Treasurer Suraj Lotlikar has managed to sneak in and now head the Goa Cricket Association virtually taking the all important sports body backwards, the ageing and limping Churchill Alemao is all eager to take control of the Goa Football Association. Other active politicians currently heading Sports bodies who should […]

GOA GOVERNOR IS A VERY PRICEY WHITE ELEPHANT
The Supreme Court has rightly time and again frowned on the very indiscriminate exercise in providing security to VIPs. Uncalled for was that very huge deployment of police personnel yesterday in Divar as Governor Mridula Sinha was expected to visit the island on the occasion of the Bonderam festival. Police stations which are meant to […]
NEED FOR ETHICS AND PROBITY IN PUBLIC LIFE
Persons in Public life are expected to be moral exemplars of morality and ethics as they have publicly pledged to uphold and defend that realm. For those holding a Public Office, there can be no dividing line between their Personal and Public life. The private lives of public figures are wide open to public scrutiny. […]
PANAJI’S WHITE ELEPHANT
Panaji’s first multi-level car park which was inaugurated amidst much fanfare on 31st October 2016 by Manohar Parrikar as Defence Minister is idling for almost two years. The foundation of that project with an estimated cost of 21 crores was laid on 24th October 2012 by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar and after missing many deadlines […]
ROADS OF GOA NEED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
Despite the Bombay High Court having ruled that good roads is a fundamental right of every citizen, the roads across Goa are in a very appalling state. Potholes and craters are galore. Some roads which were hot-mixed just before the monsoons have been washed away. What a criminal waste of public funds. Very sadly in […]
A VERY POWER INTOXICATED MANOHAR PARRIKAR
The very high-handed decision by Goa’s ailing Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar who is undergoing treatment in New York, in deputing Speaker Pramod Sawant to hoist the National flag at the State level Independence Day function must be strongly condemned. It only once again displays the rank arrogance of the BJP in grossly violating the laid […]
REMEMBERING DAYANAND BANDODKAR ON HIS DEATH ANNIVERSARY
Today August 12th is the death anniversary of Goa’s first Chief Minister Dayanand. Though Dayanand Bandodkar may have initially been for merging Goa with Maharashtra, he respected the people’s verdict and later with Dr Jack Sequeira as the fiery voice of the Opposition they toiled with a vision and passion towards the development of Goa. Unlike many of today’s politicians who are […]
END OF THE ROAD FOR PRATAPSINGH RANE
Former Chief Minister and Goa’s longest serving MLA Pratapsingh Raoji Rane towards the twilight of his long political innings is rightly receiving the flak and being virtually roasted on social media by Goans across the world for that very bizarre statement on 3rd August in the Goa Legislative Assembly demeaning Goans working overseas. But equally […]
YOUR TIME IS UP MR PRATAPSINGH RAOJI RANE
The wide spread global indignation of former Chief Minister Pratapsingh Rane and that very severe fury against him comes as no surprise. His very humiliating words against Goans working abroad while addressing the Goa Legislative Assembly on Friday 3rd August has rightly infuriated Goans across the world besides their families and friends in Goa. It […]
ANOTHER BREACH BY MANOHAR PARRIKAR?
On Independence Day it is the Chief Minister of every State who hoists the National Flag at the capital city. In his absence it would have to be only by the next Senior most Cabinet Minister or a Minister designated by the Chief Minister. As Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar will be away this Independence […]
