Today being the last day for withdrawal of nominations, we would know the names of the candidates remaining in the fray in the battle for these 2022 Assembly elections. For those who were unable to contest these elections on account of being infected with COVID-19 or other constraints, there is nothing to fret about as […]

WAS STATEHOOD FOR GOA A POLITICAL COCK-UP?
On 30th May 1987 Goa attained Statehood. After over three long decades the debate still rages whether our State has benefited after becoming India’s 25th State. There has been nothing to cheer about on achieving Statehood. Goans now realize the trap they got into by craving for statehood. An illusion gone awfully sour. With statehood […]
AS GOA’S POLITICAL BROTH STINKS, THE CHEF FLEES
Faced with the unbearable stench of the present day political broth in Goa, one might have hoped that the trusted old chef would try to stir the pot for a better concoction. Alas! the cook himself has fled, trusting it all to the BJP crooks. The long political era of Pratapsingh Rane finally comes to […]
ANOTHER MEGA FRAUD BY A BJP LEADER
In a glaring case of gross abuse of Power, a BJP leader from Vasco, Deepak Naik, has manipulated the Kadamba Transport Corporation (KTC) and managed to get a piece of land leased out at the Panaji Kadamba Bus Terminal in total violation of the law. As Director of the Kadamba Transport Corporation Deepak Naik got […]
GOAN VOTERS WILL NOT BE HOODWINKED
The Supreme Court has so very rightly expressed deep concern over the irrational freebies being promised by some political parties in the run up to the ensuing Assembly elections to five states including Goa. Fortunately, the voters of Goa are very astute and mature and will not be carried away by such political chicanery. We […]
GOA BJP AT CROSSROADS
That BJP lost its way (which was crooked anyway) and took to the gutter of vile opportunism, particularly in Goa, would bother no one if it were not to drag Goa to the abyss. BJP is now at its most trying crossroad. The open revolt and rebellion being witnessed within the BJP comes as no […]
BJP GROPING IN THE DARK
BJP which once claimed to be a party with a difference, now after having opted for Babush Monserrate for the Panaji seat despite his gory criminal antecedents, is trying to push the buck on late Manohar Parrikar. This attempt to misguide people is in sheer bad taste, that too while Manohar Parrikar is not around […]
MAY OUR VERY SOLEMN COMMITMENT BE TO GUARD OUR GOA FROM ANY FURTHER RUIN
On October 17th last year, as suggested and opined by my friends and well wishers, I had agreed to contest these ensuing Assembly elections from Panaji. But later on carefully assessing the ground muddled situation for over a month and with so many wanting to contest, on 27th November I took that conscientious decision not […]
BJP PRESIDENT SADANAND TANAWADE SHOULD GET HIS FACTS RIGHT
Goa BJP President Sadanand Shet Tanawade should stop misguiding the people of Goa by pushing the onus of creating Babush Monserrate on Manohar Parrikar who today is not around to defend himself. When in 2002 Manohar Parrikar inducted Babush Monserrate into the cabinet he was not charged for raping that minor girl whom he did […]
AN AUDIT OF BJP’S DECADE MISRULE 2012-2022
The BJP completes ten years of its rule in Goa. It has to be assessed on the ‘Goa Vision Document 2012-2017’, that was released by the Party in the run-up to the March 2012 Assembly elections and it’s later Manifesto in 2017. It has been an unending string of U Turns and reneged promises. Despite having been […]
