Any legislation passed or notification issued must be for the larger public good and never for any vested interest. The Goa amendment to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 hurriedly introduced and passed has raised many eyebrows. It seeks to give reduction in stamp duty for gift deeds in favour of a brother-in-law (Bhauji) or sister-in […]

SCALES OF JUSTICE MUST NEVER TILT
It was not at all surprising on being told that a trio whose feathers had been ruffled had deviously in revenge conspired to get me convicted on Jan 5th in connection with those alleged social media posts. The mastermind was reportedly a fellow advocate whose ambition to be elevated to the Supreme Court was grounded. […]
CM PRAMOD SAWANT MUST GET HIS FACTS RIGHT
The statement by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant that it was for the first time in Goa’s history that the MLAs on January 16th tried to disrupt the Governor’s address is far from the truth. Pramod Sawant must go through the records of the Goa Legislative Assembly to see how the BJP MLAs behaved while in […]
GOVERNOR PILLAI HAS LET GOA DOWN
The very crucial Mhadei issue should have been center stage in the current brief session of the Goa Legislative Assembly. That it did not even find mention in the address of Governor PS Sreedharan Pillai is inexplicable and indefensible. It only exposes the blatant lies and very sheer deceit by the BJP which has been hoodwinking Goa and […]
WILL BETTER SENSE EVER PREVAIL?
The government should focus on finding solutions and resolving public issues rather than wasting time on needless functions. Applications under various government schemes should be processed and handled efficiently and without unnecessary delay solely by the concerned departments. Now we see an absurd trend of Ministers and ruling party MLAs handing over approval letters to the […]
OUR CRUSADE AGAINST INJUSTICE ON MHADEI MUST BE RELENTLESS
Mhadei is one issue which every single Goan should rise on. Even on this very crucial and vital issue the government is playing political mischief. The damage being willfully inflicted will be irreversible. We all need to firmly resolve with all possible added vigor to carry on highlighting this gross and catastrophic injustice that we […]
FINALLY CM PRAMOD SAWANT SPILLS THE BEANS
That public statement by Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant that henceforth all selection for Government jobs would be on merit is a clear admission of guilt that over the last ten years merit was never the criteria. Though belated, it is better late than never. After the BJP in Goa came to power in 2012 we […]
THE YOUTH POWER CAN RESCUE AND SALVAGE GOA
At a time when Goa finds itself at crossroads the Power of our youth can play a crucial role. There is a great talent in Youth, who are like dynamite and can achieve great good when inspired and guided on the right path. Youth power has been regarded as an inexhaustible reservoir of human resources. […]
STILL AN ENDLESS WAIT FOR THOSE EIGHT GREEDY POLITICAL DEFECTORS
Those eight Congress MLAs who on September 14th last year decided to betray their party and the voters are now in a limbo for almost four months. While their pockets were well lined, they were also solemnly promised positions of Power within a week but they have now realized that fake promise the BJP enticed […]
WE CANNOT ALLOW OUR GOA TO BE DRIFTING AWAY
Goa is currently in dire straits. The very crucial Mhadei is the last nail on the coffin. Life for us is now a very long battle, a crusade that for Goa’s sake we must carry on till our very last breath. Let this be our solemn promise to our dear motherland, which should never ever […]
