One sees nothing wrong at the manner in which the swearing in ceremony of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray was held at Shivaji Park. The BJP which over the years has violated every possible law has no more authority to allege that protocol was violated. A very glaring example was when on 1st July 2017 for […]

SIGNS OF BAD GOVERNANCE
The incomplete Third Mandovi Bridge was hurriedly inaugurated on January 27th this year but the authorities have been ever so very lax over clearing the debris lying all around. The pile up of all that huge waste lying on both sides and under the bridge needs to be cleared on a priority. It was incumbent on […]
THE MAHARASHTRA MODEL MAY BE THE WAY AHEAD FOR THE NATION
With Uddhav Thackeray assuming the reigns of Maharashtra as Chief Minister, let us all very sincerely wish him and his team all the very best. May they govern with a sense of courage, commitment, sincerity and compassion. Governing the huge State and ridding Maharashtra of all the piled up problems will be no easy task. […]
GOA’S POLICE FORCE CANNOT BE TREATED LIKE STREET DOGS
At least today on the closing of the International Fraud Festival of India (IFFI) our police posted on duty there should have been decently served snacks, meals and drinking water. Officers responsible for this careless and ruthless behavior should not be spared. They have acted in clear violation of the repeated directions by the Goa […]
SANCTITY OF RAJ BHAVANS SHOULD NEVER BE BREACHED AND SHOULD NOT BE DENS FOR POLITICAL CHICANERY
The Governor as the constitutional head has to be the custodian of the entire State and ensure its best interests at all times. He cannot act as a stooge or agent of the political party in power at the Centre in forming and dislodging governments while the fundamentals of democracy and righteousness are deceitfully trampled […]
BJP’S MAHARASTRA POLITICAL MISCHIEF SHOULD NEVER EVER REPEAT IN OUR WORLD’S BIGGEST DEMOCRACY
The now exposed Devendra Fadnavis has rightly today opted for his only option by gracefully resigning as Chief Minister of Maharashtra, a post he for a few days mischievously and so unlawfully usurped. While his Deputy Ajit Pawar has the option to return to his uncle the grand Sharad Pawar, the devious Devendra Fadnavis will […]
OUR CONSTITUTION NEEDS TO BE RESCUED AND PROTECTED
Today on 26th November as we observe our Constitution Day we have a lot to reflect on what has been going wrong with the very guiding principles being flouted with impunity.70 years ago on 26 November 1949, the Constituent Assembly adopted our Constitution which was drafted by a committee headed by Babasaheb Ambedkar who played […]
OUR POLICE FORCE BEING TREATED VERY INHUMANELY
The Police staff deployed on duty for the current International Fraud Festival of India (IFFI) are not being served snacks, meals and not even drinking water. They have also not been paid the promised food allowance. Infact the food allowance for those police deployed on duty during the last session of the Goa Legislative Assembly […]
EVERY GOVERNMENT SERVANT MUST BE PUNCTUAL, CARING AND DEDICATED
There is a need to ensure that in all government offices the staff is very punctual in reporting for work. Even at the Secretariat in Porvorim you see staff merrily walking in past 10.30. This is impermissible. Infact the Heads of all departments across Goa should themselves lead by example. Besides every government employee has a duty […]
MAY OUR ST FRANCIS XAVIER ALWAYS PROTECT AND CARE FOR US ALL
Today on the very first day of the Novenas at Old Goa while we gear for the Feast of St Francis Xavier it was so nice to attend the 8.15 mass this morning. It was for the first time in my years that a Novena mass was hosted by our very own Ribandar Parish. Our […]
