Dear Tim, I am with you if your [and other NRIs] money is with us.
Let us apply the Chinese recipe for 'Duck soup' to it: "Step#1. First catch the duck." Which eligible[to contest elections in Goa] woman do you have in mind? The current local 'favourite' is Kunda Chodankar--Chairperson of Goa State Women's Commission,President of the ruling party's Mahila Morcha[Women's Front],General Secretary of the BJP, Zilla Parishad [District Council] member [and ex-Vice Chairperson] all rolled in one at one go. She has earlier been the Sarpanch of he exotically named village 'Penha da France' [Foot of France] in which our new State Secretariat has been erected. It is almost in her backyard,so to say. Any takers? Adv Norma Fonseca Alvares would be a good choice.Will she jump into the political muck? Any other names,please?? Viva Goa.
