The large scale destruction and devastation of the hills and pristine fields of Taleigao is unpardonable and unforgivable. But blame not only the accused Monserrates. We all are responsible for allowing them to do it. The Monsters now want to extend this loot and plunder beyond Taleigao. They are becoming bolder each passing day. And […]

GOVERNOR MALIK HAD CERTIFIED THAT CHIEF MINISTER PRAMOD SAWANT WAS ABSOLUTELY CORRUPT
It is absolutely erroneous and mischievous for the BJP to now accuse our former Governor Satya Pal Malik of waking up so late about corruption by the Pramod Sawant government. Infact as Governor Satya Pal Malik had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah giving them details of the omissions and […]
MAY PANAJI SEE BETTER DAYS
My Dear friends, Having agreed to the request of a lot of my friends and well-wishers to contest the ensuing Goa Assembly elections from Panaji, I am overwhelmed with the tremendous support that I have been receiving over the last ten days. There are however divergent opinions on behalf of which party I should contest […]
GOA’S POTHOLED ROADS ARE A CRYING SHAME
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has solemnly promised that all the roads in Goa would be free of potholes by 1st November. Incidentally 1st November is All Saints day. If Pramod Sawant fails to deliver on his assurance he will have to answer to even the departed on November 2nd which is All Souls day. Despite […]
WILL GOA GOVERNOR PILLAI WALK HIS TALK?
After Governor PS Sreedharan Pillai earlier this month announced opening of the Goa Raj Bhavan gates to the Right to Information Act, I submitted an application under this Transparency law seeking copies of the letters written by then Governor Satya Pal Malik to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah from November 3rd 2019 […]
NEED TO ELECT WORTHY REPRESENTATIVES AT ALL LEVELS
Our elected representatives must empower the people and not themselves. It is imperative that those elected stay connected with the people and that there is always an ongoing discourse to meet the needs and aspirations of the public. Good Governance is all about heeding to the voice of the people and not muzzling them. There […]
THE DEATH OF DR MANJUNATH DESAI LEAVES US DAZED
In the unexpectedly premature death of our dear Doctor Manjunath Desai, Goa has lost an extremely rare and committed Doctor. He was a pillar of hope for the Cardiology unit which he headed at the Goa Medical College. He has departed leaving us all shell shocked and heart broken. Over the years I had the […]
GOANS TO BE BURDENED WITH ANOTHER VVIP VISIT
Vice-President of India Venkaiah Naidu is coming later this week on a four day visit to once again inconvenience the people of Goa. Earlier this year he was here on an eight day long visit and it was unnecessary traffic mayhem all over while his convoy of vehicles merrily weaved its way through. The authorities […]
WILL BSNL SERVICES IN GOA RESURRECT?
It is appalling that the telephones at even most government offices have not been functioning. In times when the communication technology has been advancing everywhere, the BSNL telephone services in Goa are in utter dire straits. Less said the better on BSNL’s internet services. Its connectivity all over and especially in the villages is extremely pathetic. Even […]
CHIEF MINISTER PRAMOD SAWANT MUST BE MODEST AND TRUTHFUL
It was amusing to hear Goa’s accidental Chief Minister Pramod Sawant claiming in the Legislative Assembly that the alleged rising Crime rate is not at all an issue and that Goa is a very safe destination. May we ask the Chief Minister, if that is the case, why he is moving around with an unprecedented […]
