To Goanet - It is reliably learnt that hectic moves are afoot by the Margao builder lobby and its chelas to rehabilitate their blue-eyed dolly in an upcoming meeting of the GBA: Goa Bachao Abhiyan is about to transmute into Oscar Bachao Abhiyan.
The media hacks have already gone to work portraying the resignation of Dr. Oscar Rebello as an internal assassination job on the good doctor's character and work. The truth is the exact opposite. The GBA leadership has betrayed the cause and the Goan people by aligning itself with the interests of the political establishment and the builder's lobby. Indeed, SOME GBA LEADERS ARE PART OF THE MARGAO BUILDER'S LOBBY AND THIS IS NOT EVEN A SECRET. It appears that the non-Goan 'media consultant' Sujay Gupta has been recruited in a desperate effort to fashion a new myth about Oscar Rebello. The pathetic, shameful newspaper Herald does not reveal to its readers that Gupta is a paid hack. Gupta likes to ask others for their source of income. It would be nice if Sujay Gupta himself told us first the source of his paychecks, official and unofficial, in cash and in kind. Completing the troika of hired non-Goan media hitmen is one specializing in fondling underage girls, and another who can be won over a bottle or two of cheap booze. Watch out for more gymnastics by the Margao builder lobby and its henchmen in the days ahead. Note that although we coin the phrase "Margao builder lobby" it does not mean that this cabal is an exclusive Margao operation. The partners-in-crime come from all over India and are united in their common goal of plundering Goa for personal profit. It is just that the nerve centre for all the machinations is headquartered in Margao - for this Margao coterie has very close ties to Digu (their full-time partner in real estate dealings and part-time CM of Goa). This Margao-based lobby has infiltrated key sections of Goan society, it has leverage over the media, and it has its moles positioned within the GBA. That its nefarious designs have been exposed does not mean it will not try to stage a new circus. Warm regards, r
