ROHAN KHAUNTE HAS STOOPED TO A VERY POLITICAL LOW
The disgraceful manner in which former Porvorim MLA Rohan Khaunte joined the BJP in political desperation comes as no surprise. What is sickening however is the way in which the BJP so shamelessly embraced a person who till the very end hurled awful vitriolic abuses against the saffron party and at Chief Minister Pramod Sawant […]
LIBERATION OR BONDAGE?
Goa may be today officially celebrating 60 yrs of Liberation, but those in Power have miserably failed to provide even the basic amenities in our little State. We make out that we have been liberated – but from what? We have merely replaced one set of oppressors with another far worse. They have invaded our […]
THOSE IN POWER AND AUTHORITY MUST BE MORAL EXEMPLARS
On the heels of that alleged sex scandal involving Minister Milind Naik who as propriety demanded has resigned, we have to now grapple with a scandalous extra marital affair that another BJP leader is reportedly merrily having with a Police Inspector. I have been inundated with messages and calls from people wanting to know the […]
NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS SORDID AFFAIR
Will our Chief Secretary and the recently appointed Director General of Police kindly meticulously investigate and ascertain whether an Inspector of the Goa Police is having an extra marital affair with a BJP politician.

In March next year, Goa’s third Chief Minister Pratapsingh Rane will complete 50 continuous years as MLA. This distinction of being Goa’s first MLA for an uninterrupted half a century, without losing an election, is testimony to his steadfast political loyalty. He started his innings in 1972 as a Minister and went on to become […]
WILL OUR HIGH COURT KINDLY INTERVENE IN THE GOA MEGA JOB SCAM?
The very highhanded manner in which government jobs are being sold and doled is a fit case warranting Suo-motu cognizance by our High Court on this very serious issue. For all recruitment to Group ‘C’ posts the Goa Staff Selection Commission was constituted last year which has been defunct from its very inception while Ministers […]
BABUSH MONSERRATE IS A DISGRACE FOR PANAJI
Today on former Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar’s birth anniversary, we recollect the courage he displayed in 2005 to strip Babush Monserrate of the Town and Country Planning portfolio due to the gross corruption with regards to that Regional Plan. Panaji MLA Babush Monserrate should look into his own backyard before making allegations against Ministers. Has […]
AFTER A EARFUL THEY HOGGED A MOUTHFUL
At the St Francis Xavier feast mass on 3rd December, Rev Alex Dias, Bishop Emeritus of Port Blair while preaching his homily so very rightly gave an earful to Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and other elected representatives who were seated in the front rows of the audience. He had a meaningful message eloquently hitting the […]
