Former Curtorim MLA Reginaldo Lourenco’s claim that he financially suffered in politics seems amusing. The facts speak for themselves. Contrary to his claim now, his own earlier affidavits reveal the truth, that he became richer after every election. In 2007 when he first contested he stated his total assets were seven lakhs. In 2012 assets […]

OUR GOA NEEDS A FACE-LIFT AND NOT A DEFACEMENT
In a total collapse in the administration, over the last few months we have been witnessing a blatant defacement of public property across the State. A sheer display of political wealth and absolute arrogance making Goa a shoddy defaced poster and graffiti state. The Goa Prevention of Defacement of Property Act, 1988 is a very […]
SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS
The traffic signals at the Ribandar-Chimbel junction on the Panaji-Old Goa highway which were installed earlier this year have not been functioning for the last many months. This junction has been very perilous with so many fatal accidents and precious lives lost. Suddenly and miraculously the signals had started working on 5th September, the day […]
OUR NO NONSENSE CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA
We will remain ever indebted to our Chief Justice of India NV Ramana for all his arduous efforts to regain and restore the much needed independence of the Judiciary. His three immediate predecessors having taken the Judiciary to a point of disdain by compromising its very sanctity and Sovereignty, Justice Ramana has only another eight […]
THE SICKENING POLITICAL DISCOURSE IN GOA
As the 2022 Goa Assembly elections are fast approaching we have been witnessing with deep anguish the sagging levels of Goa’s political class which is by the day only getting further corroded.

MAY OUR GOA SEE A HOPE IN THE NEW YEAR
Despite the COVID pandemic still looming and this year it being fear of that dreaded Omicron, let us in our own little modest way rejoice this Christmas while we get ready to usher in 2022. The New Year has to see Good governance in Goa with a government that is sensitive and caring in fulfilling […]
THE CRUSADE AGAINST CORRUPTION AND INJUSTICE CAN NEVER CEASE
I have been alerted that a very infuriated Babush Monserrate could be plotting another attack on my life. I have been advised to take extra precautions but I will, as always, lead the life of a common man. As the Sufi mystic Kabir said “Jako rakhe Sai, maar sake na koi” (None can harm him […]
GOVT AND THE PARTY POLITICS CANNOT BE CONVENIENTLY MERGED
There has to be a clear dividing line between government programs and that of the political party in Power. We have over the last decade seen the BJP glaringly converting government functions into a political party affair. The latest is the Liberation Day celebrations which more than obviously looked like a BJP celebration. The government […]
MAY REGINALDO LOURENCO’S STAINED POLITICAL SOUL REST IN ETERNAL PEACE
The treacherous exit from the Congress Party by the always ego puffed Curtorim MLA Reginaldo Lourenco was expected and comes as no surprise. His recent midnight meeting with BJP leaders says it all. In Reginaldo Lourenco’s expected, disgruntled exit, the Congress should be relieved that some of its remaining political thrash has been finally emptied […]
