Panaji MLA Babush Monserrate has fed us all with fake and false promises. Even that promised 30 bedded full-fledged Ribandar Health Centre has ended up as a total sham. In May 2019 during that Panaji by-election Babush Monserrate had promised the people of Panaji that the Casinos would be moved out of the River Mandovi […]
SEEKING YOUR GOOD WISHES
Dear Friends. Over the last few months many of my well-wishers have been urging me to consider contesting the forthcoming Goa Assembly elections. Having crossed the age 60 threshold, I was hesitating. It is no secret that my two goals in life had been to be an Advocate and an MLA. Having achieved the first […]
TRAFFIC CANNOT COME TO A STANDSTILL
It is high time our High Court takes Suo-motu cognizance of the repeated traffic mayhem faced by citizens on account of visits by VVIPs to our State. Thursday 14th October on the eve of Dussehra it was another mega traffic chaos all over on account of Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Goa. A […]
POLITICIANS SHOULD NOT DARE OVERPOWER THE JUDICIARY
There should be Zero tolerance to even the faintest governmental interference in the functioning of our judiciary. The setting up of a National Judicial Infrastructure Corporation could go a long way towards improving our judicial infrastructure while maintaining its independence and autonomy. This Corporation could act as a median and catalyst in pursuing Judicial projects […]
SAFEGUARD GOA’S PROPERTY
As custodians of government property, the law requires that every government officer should be rigorous and vigilant in protecting State property and ensure that there is no illegal encroachment whatsoever.

MEGALOMANIAC CHIEF MINISTER PRAMOD SAWANT
Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Centre and here Chief Minister Pramod Sawant are utterly obsessed with their photographs and cheap publicity. Such megalomania reminds one of the other greats in their category: Idi Amin, Stalin, Mussolini (to name a few). Pramod Sawant should realize that the people of Goa are outraged that he has […]
POLITICAL GALAVANTING AT TAXPAYERS EXPENSE

GOA RAJ BHAVAN CANNOT BE ANOTHER WHITE ELEPHAN
Goa Governor PS Sreedharan Pillai must reconsider the selfish decision to construct a new Raj Bhavan Complex. He must judiciously examine and analyze why his predecessor, Satya Pal Malik had rightly rejected that proposal. Given the dire financial straits that our State exchequer finds itself buried in, it is outrageous that the government has had […]
WASTEFUL EXPENDITURE
At the very fag end of its term, it is outrageous and preposterous that this unholy Pramod Sawant government which is struggling to even pay its staff their monthly salaries and the payments to beneficiaries of various social schemes, is now venturing into a further financial mess in an attempt to desperately woo voters in […]
WE HAVE BEEN FED DREAMS!
As the BJP in Goa will soon complete ten years in office it is time that we, the people, audit its performance. This government has to be assessed on the ‘Goa Vision Document 2012-2017’, released by the Party in the run-up to the March 2012 Assembly elections and its acts and deeds over the last […]
