thanks, that was a nice one and perhaps, at the right time. Believe me or not, I too wanted to write on this..
Yes, there are two main things the Goan Christians worried about.. 1. BJP = Pro-Hindu Party. Change it, form a regional party of your own with clear election manifesto (i.e. treating all Goans same etc) Change it to any name, preferably,with the word 'Goa' in it but not 'BJP Goa' it could be 'new goa party' or SGP (Save Goa Party) etc etc 2. IFFI Lot has been talked about it against you or the BJP for last two years or so. You just don't worry about this any more. People now know about it all. Thanks to the people like JoeGoaUk who showed the world what IFFI is all about. Btw, can anybody forward me Mr. Parrikar's email ID please ? The one which is how at the Goa.Gov. site is not working, all mails come back undelivered. ================================================================== I forgot to ask him when I visited him on his birthday recently. ===================================================================== Was also surprised to see Churchill Alemao there on his birthday. And wait a minute, let me worn you, just changing the party name and keeping or taking in some existing politicians, will not help at all. However, You may take in Mathany Saldanha (Cortalim MLA), for other pl consult us. === [Goanet] FW: Re: Manohar Parrikar for CM, PM ! CARMO DCRUZ cadcruz at msn.com Mon Dec 25 21:36:25 PST 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Manohar, You know that all of us Goan IITians and the Goan intellengentsia want you to win the May elections. You may have many critics who want you to lose, But here is a note (see below) from a concerned Goan IITian Dr. Samir Kelekar who also wants you to win. You really need to listen to all of us - critics and fans as you stage your comeback. Our Great State of Goa will be the real loser if you do not win ! I personally feel you should launch your own party and call it the SAVE GOA PARTY and you will win hands down. Frankly, Congress sounds too much like a "Do Nothing" party to me and as a Christao Goan BJP sounds too much of a "Goan Kokne-chi" party. So many Goan Christaos may feel isolated just because of the name of your party ! So do something about it !
