TMC Love Affair With Goan Antiques The alliance of TMC with MGP has gotten even the horses nodding their heads sideways.
TMC Goa in-charge Mahua Moitra has proudly announced the alliance and underlined the fact how MG is the oldest Goan Party. In my opinion (i make joke) it is a half-truth unless the birth of this political party was a premature birth; the other baby of course is none other than the UG Party which gave birth to twins who sooner than later went their separate ways. I digress. Unlike the SW Railway I will not get derailed permanently but will try and get on track immediately. Ms Mahua Moitra the MG Party is also a pro-Maharashtra Party. The Party voted for the merger of Goa during the Opinion Poll while the United Goans voted against it. It was a lion then and now it is a lion, a pro-Maharashtra lion. How will it fight for Goan identity and work in the interest of Goans? The two brothers have always criticized the minority community and identified it with Portugal until even recently. Both the old parties have old and communal faces - one Hindu and the other Roman Catholic. And perhaps both political parties have members which can be counted on the fingers of one hand. By the way, no fingers have been chopped off if you are thinking this - banish the thought - simple attrition. I am afraid Ms Mahua Moitra you have put your foot in your mouth, and it is the second time. The first was TMC choosing the antique Luzinho Falero as Raja Sabha member, a corrupt icon and embarrassing Goans no end. We don’t know which way to look! Doesn’t TMC not know all this? It is no secret in Goa. At this point I must say you are eloquent and articulate and may I add beautiful. Most people in Goan will agree with me on all three counts. For this reason your utterances are not easy to stomach, for us. Next time, be careful! Don’t put your other foot in your mouth. You have only two and will be grounded
