of the former Portuguese colonies in Africa. An online tribute

references, some photographs and documents)

Sardinha was the most corrupt Chief Minister Goa ever had afte Rane. You should
not forget his involvement in the famous marks scandal when he was the
Education Minister he was instrumental in increasing the marks of his niece
Shalini Sardinha. His other famous scandals include meat complex scandal, dam
scandal, and the power scandal.
As Pro-tem Speaker of Goa Assembly Sardinha had shamelessly and fraudelently
given his casting vote in favour of Rane Government which survived the trial of
strength in State Assembly resulting in Center imposing President,s rule in Goa.
And now his latest achievement is legalizing bull fights which is a shameful
act of cruelty to animals. Even the kasais will not give such a torment to the
hapless animals they kill.

during Sardinha's tenure as CM so that wecan see what his achievements and
misdeeds were ?I tried to go through the Goanet archives but not much seems to
be therebefore 2003. I remember a few things --- there was this bond issue
whichwas thought of as a big scam. Of course, Parrikar back stabbed him whenhe
went to Australia on govt. money is a well-known story.regards,Samir
