GSRP General Secretary and St. Andre declared Candidate for 2017 visited Caurem yesterday Saturday evening but reached at the site of protest just after it was called off for the day. Met Adv. Swas and thereafter tried to contact Nilesh Gaonkar and Ravindra Velip. Returned to Quepem and visited Ravindra Velip at his home. His left hand which was in pain after the day's protest was being re-bandaged . It seems that Ravindra has returned home just a day before after a successful operation to remove the splinters of bone which our Goa's medical fraternity could not find or should we say could not see due to POLITICAL PRESSURE? We are happy to have talked to one of Goa's most committed young man and are concerned about the FIR not being filed in the case of his assault in Sada-sub Jail, yet. He and his family members have taken note when we told them that GSRP will disbandon the Goa Mining Policy and give Co-Operative Society status to Goa's mining where the profits made over sustainable mining shall be transferred to every GOAN household @ Rs. 10,000/- per month minimum for the next 25 years so that all the vote-bank schemes like Laadly Lakxmi etc be scrapped once and for all. He was also told that Goa's existing public debt which stands at Rs. 70,000 crore must be repaid if Goa's youth and gen next is to have a qualitative future, half of it through the recovery of the mining loot from the indicted mine owners which has been reported by Shah Commission to stand at Rs. 35,000 crore. The GSRP Team left Ravindra;s home after wishing him a speedy recovery.
