While in its 60th year of Liberation, our misgoverned Goa is now desperately gasping for a second Liberation. We can never forget the yeoman services of our first Chief Minister Dayanand Bandodkar and Dr. Jack Sequeira as first Leader of the Opposition who worked ceaselessly to build Goa brick by brick. Though Dayanand Bandodkar may […]

GETTING RID OF THE MURKY MONSERRATES HAS TO BE OUR PRIORITY
Let us gear up for any sacrifice whatsoever to ensure the stunning defeat of Panaji MLA Babush Monserrate at the ensuing Assembly elections. It is also imperative that his clan be sent to the cleaners. On 19th February 2008 Babush Monserrate and his wife Jennifer led the brutal attack on our Panaji Police Station. It is […]
AUTHORITIES SILENT SPECTATORS TO BREACH OF LAW
In the run up to elections of the Goa Legislative Assembly due in February 2022, we are witnessing, over the last few months, unprecedented breach of law by way of blatant defacement of property across the State. This madness that had started with Dussehra to Diwali will only get worse now through Christmas and New […]
ADMINISTRATIVE MISMANAGEMENT AND ABUSE OF POWER
I took the second dose of the COVID vaccine way back on June 15th at the otherwise very well organized vaccination centre at the Goa Medical College in Bambolim. Strangely however for the last over four months I have been receiving repeated messages from the authorities erroneously reminding me that my second dose is due. […]

May I so very respectfully seek your suggestions and inputs for the election manifesto that you all would wish me to be committed to (indeed, your manifesto) as your candidate from Panaji Constituency for the ensuing Assembly elections. Kindly send me your thoughts by email, whatsapp or by post at the below address. […]
SORROWING LIES THE STATE OF OUR PANAJI-RIBANDAR CAUSEWAY
Due to sheer negligence by the authorities, the 387 year old Panaji-Ribandar causeway which was once referred to as the longest bridge in Asia has been in a perilous state for long. That a part of this causeway wall has given way on Diwali eve comes as no surprise. Infact in 2016, based on a […]
DIWALI GREETINGS TO YOU ALL
Our Festival of Lights is here but at least in Goa it is gloom and doom on all fronts. There can be no festivity with potholed roads, very erratic water and power supply. Besides, due to lack of vision and prompt corrective measures, the Goan economy is in a muddle bringing no cheer to the […]
SALUTE TO THE HERO – BRAVE IN WAR, FAIR IN LAW
It was indeed a very proud moment for Goa, and for the legal fraternity here in particular, to see our dear Senior Advocate Surendra Desai being felicitated by the Air Veterans Association of the Indian Air Force. The felicitation held on Saturday at Ravindra Bhavan in Hyderabad was on the occasion of the Golden jubilee […]
RIBANDAR ROADS STILL WITH POTHOLES
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant had assured us that the roads across Goa would be free of potholes by 1st November but our roads in Ribandar continue to be in an extremely deplorable state. During the CCP elections in March this year, MLA Babush Monserrate had promised that our roads would be repaired soon but it […]
FOR THE BJP THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL
With Goa gearing up for the ensuing Assembly elections nothing can save the current ruling BJP from a resounding defeat. Smelling a rout, it should come as no surprise if the saffron brigade replaces Pramod Sawant with a more sober, truthful and sensible leader. But that will be of no avail, so also the replacing […]
