Any indication of what Pension Plan the BJP has for its first-time MLAs after resignation. If they complete one full term they get a life-time family pension of Rs.5000/-. This amount is more than the earnings of some of the current MLAs before their accidental election due to the multiple fractures in the Congress votes. Not everyone was lucky to rake in on the raves[leaving Mr.Masurkar in a trance ...... facing the music in the High Court ;-( ], infrastructure or Town planning.

.........................................................................As the night wears out and the state gears up for the bandh tommorrow -----incidentally it is a non working day for the Goa government there is a contingency plan in the BJP camp to resign "en masse" and ensure Presidents Rule without keeping the House in suspended animation.
These " Chintamanis" now only have 'Chinta'[ that is no longer interesting bhaitak style or otherwise] and very little 'money'. They are not worried about tax......but just the axe effect on their fortunes. With no friendly administration, and no friendly cops, no good business house in the supporting role and no market worthiness, how does one win an election? Selling bajjas, pulling cables or fitting electical gadgets are poor alternatives to the MLAs salary[ Rs.40,000/-?], petrol allowance, phone allowance,staff allowance and other perks. And who is going to take care of the skeletons in the cupboard for free? Only Chinta and no money will drive these guys crazy...if not move them to tears.
Every dog has his day......it does not last forever.
Viva Goa.
