Dear Rajan, Thanks for the elucidation. So we are agreed that Dr.Anand Virgincar is for Manohar Parrikar as CM. That is good. I like the fortright manner you have put it now as he did in the advertisements before the 02 June, 2007 elections. Some of the others on that list were hesitant to stand by the advertisement.
Coming to the point of GBA, can you put a NAME to any of the Core Group members, who meet every month, who are supposed to be ones "who have quit the GBA in disgust " [your words]. When I contact them for the monthly meetings, they either promise to come or inform if they are out of station or have another engagement. No one has told me they have QUIT THE GBA. Those who fail to attend always give reasons/excuses why they could not make it. If YOU know a GBA Core Group member who has quit in disgust, simply name him on this list. I like the fortright manner in which you write. Please do it in this case also. Let us know the "Closet Queens" in the GBA ...if there are any. Let them drop dead from the GBA and .....let their skeletons roll from the GBA cupboard. Holi hai! It is time for renewal.

Comment: I will hold my peace, while you shout out the names of the QUITTERS from the GBA. It is a deal you now cannot refuse! Mog asundi.

Do you >want to deny that for him, Rajan-bab? Why would I deny that when he himself has been saying it openly here on Goanet? He came clean right away where he was coming from, what his goals were, what his political preferences are.No chicanery, no doublespeak. Perhaps such forthright manner is alien to you? >Please do not market your half-baked opinions as the Truth. The GBA is alive >and working. True, the GBA is alive and working. Working for the Congress. The GBA as a credible group was compromised long ago. Ordinary people like me, who kept aside our political preferences and wholeheartedly got behind the cause, mentally & emotionally, were betrayed. I wish this had not been the case, but you cannot wish reality away. Right now the number of fellows who have quit the GBA in disgust exceeds the heads still bobbing up and down in the ruins. The decibel level of your protestations is inversely proportional to the strength of your case. Warm regards, r -- -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
