At last year’s Goa Assembly elections most of the parties poured in a lot of money, with the BJP topping the list. All the parties are answerable and must reveal the source of all that ill-gotten wealth they spent on those elections. The people are entitled to know as to how the BJP which […]

NIDHIN VALSAN – A SHINING EXAMPLE TO US ALL
By way of a Super Cop, Goa is so fortunate to have this young IPS officer Nidhin Valsan serving our State. This dedicated and committed officer is an inspiration to us all. As a Stage IV Cancer survivor his battle against the dreaded Cancer is amazing. His relentless Positive Mental Attitude is something for us […]
BEST WISHES TO SMRITI & ZUBIN IRANI AND THE YOUNG BRIDAL COUPLE
Have known Smriti and her hubby Zubin Irani over two decades ago, while addressing BJP meetings in Goa when the BJP was spreading its tentacles in our State. We have however crossed swords last year over that stormy infamous Silly Souls Café & Bar at Assagao which was being run by the Irani household and […]
FINALLY SOME CRUMBS TO PACIFY FIVE OF THE EIGHT DEFECTORS
After over four long months of waiting, five of those eight defectors have finally been doled out some unpalatable crumbs of office by the BJP. In desperation they had to grudgingly accept whatever fell off their new BJP master’s table, with no choice whatsoever. While defecting, Santa Cruz MLA Rodolfo Fernandes was promised the Kadamba […]
RIBANDAR HILL CUTTING MUST BE PROBED
There needs to be a thorough inquiry to ascertain and fix responsibility on those having contrary to rules and regulations issued that unlawful permission for that massive hill cutting at Ribandar. We need to commend Town & Country Planning Minister Vishwajit Rane for having promptly inspected the site and issued appropriate directions. Stern disciplinary action […]
A FARCICAL OFFICIAL LANGUAGE DAY
It took a much sustained agitation, with even loss of some lives in that battle to ensure that Konkani was recognised as the Official language of our State. Every 4th February is merely symbolically being observed as the Official Language Day of Goa. Very sadly successive Governments have not been sincere and serious in promoting Konkani as […]
WHEN ONE ADVOCATE BLEMISHED US ALL
That theft by an Advocate of Court property including gold and currency has taken our legal profession to a very new low. It is perhaps for the first time in Goa’s history that an officer of the Court has dared to stoop so low knowing fully well the serious consequences of his insane act. Such […]
STRAY DOG MENACE IN GOA IS ALARMING
Crores have been spent over the years on the stray dog menace but the situation is just getting shoddier. The stray dog menace across Goa is now beyond control. The so-called sterilisation programme is just not working. Sterilization alone can never be the only solution to this grave and alarming crisis of stray dogs. We […]
GOA EVOLVING AS NATION’S CRIME CAPITAL
With burglars having dared to step into the Temple of Justice at Panaji, they have ventured into their last possible destination of crime. Afterall, the burglars never opt for the Secretariat or Legislative Assembly to commit a theft as some of their partners in Crime are at those citadels of Power. We have grown in […]
SANITY MUST PREVAIL IN EVERY EDUCATIONAL CAMPUS
The recent ruckus at the St Xavier’s College in Mapusa is condemnable. As expected the law enforcement authorities bowing to political pressure conveniently dragged their feet. Unlike our good old College days, now the Student Council elections in the Colleges and University are fought in dirty political style, with patronage of Money and muscle Power […]
