This is strongly our Party's stand. Although we have not mentioned 'reservations' in our Road Map for Goa which was released on 20 August, 2005, we have made our stand clear on the OBC/SC/STs and how this situation has to be tackled to get these folks into the mainstream as INDIAN CITIZENS. You will find our stand clearly made out at Chapter XXII (1) of our Road Map for Goa, which can be downloaded from the Home Page of our website www.goasu-raj.org. floriano goasuraj ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nasci Caldeira" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <goanet@goanet.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 6:35 PM Subject: Re: [Goanet] Re: The debate on reservations > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > * G * O * A * N * E * T **** C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Enjoy your holiday in Goa.
