Hi Nagueshbab: It is not a random statement, nor is it an allegation of corruption against Mathany. It is a loud speculation as to what sort of principle Mathany would be talking given that his actions in the last few years (after he has become an MLA) have betrayed all his principles.
Mathany was a people's person. He did not speak out when legal houses were demolished in Baina, along with illegal ones. He was part of the govt. that blew 100 crores on IFFI -- something that did not help the people of Goa in any way. He did not speak up (in fact he was part of the govt) when the DGP was removed in an arbitrary manner. He did not speak up when Parrikar took personal revenge on Datta Naik and Dr. Colaco only because they opposed his govt. All of the above actions show that Mathany has betrayed his principles. So I am wondering aloud what principle he is talking about. I have no issue with your statements that Congress people are highly corrupt. I am however very glad that a communal, dictatorial and a nepotist and corrupt regime (a look at who were allocated huge contracts will show it) is out. samir From: "Nagesh Bhatcar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <goanet@goanet.org> Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2005 10:04 PM Subject: RE: [Goanet]Mathany, principle and interest > Samir, > > Instead of making such random statements, can you prove that Mathany > has been corrupt in anyway?
