Samir has not understood the thread of floriano's thinking. Time has come
when the best candidate ( in this case surely Matanhy for South) must
declare his preferences now so that the voters know how he will vote in case
there is a vote to prove the strenght in the house.
India has been given/declared just two probables for the Prime Minister's
post. Surely there are many deserving others who could would and could be
prefered once election results are declared. But floriano is working on the
premise of the two probales already declared.
If not Manmohan Singh, it could be any body else. Floriano will be happy if
it is not a Congress lead government. India requires a change and Congress
requires to cool itself in the opposition benches. If not Congress, it must
also not be the BJP aka NDA. What floriano is saying is that Matanhy must
tell us if he will root for Advani as the PM if he is on the choice.
That will make everything clear to start with. No hidden agendas.
And there is no doubt in my mind that Matanhy is the best between all on
display excluding just one. Independent Ms. Salunke. It takes guts to do
what she is doing. And I like what she is doing.
And YES, we are going to choose our two best representatives to send to
Delhi. But these two best representatives must definately tell us if they
are going to choose LK Advani or someone else to sit on the chair of the
Prime Minister of India.
It will be better to eat a lot of salt in advance rather than wait for the
promised 'malai' later which might not be fortcoming at all.

This 15th. Lok Sabha Elections has nothing to do with Shripad Naik, OR
Jitendra Deshprabhu Or Sardinha, Or Matanhy Saldanha Or whoever.
It is either Manmohan Singh or LK Advani.
There is a saying in Konkani --- "Xitafundem mith khai naka."
Roughly translated it means -- Dont eat salt before the rice -- or some
such thing.
Floriano insults Indian people when he says that the choice is between
Manmohan
and Advani. The voting is yet to take place; there are tons of candidates
for the Indian people to choose from and in all their wisdom let us hope
that they will choose the right candidates.
Mathany is one of them.
How can one be sure before hand that there are only two choices for the
PM's post ? Not just that, who knows what power any upcoming PM will have?
Our current choice is to elect our best representative. And surely Mathany
is the best. There is nothing ambivalent in Mathany saying that he will
decide the PM based on the one who will do the best for Goa!!!!
Whatever one may say, one thing surely one can be assured --- no one can
do worse than Sardinha, and the other jokers we have elected in the past!
In other words, Mathany definitely deserves a chance much more over
these other jokers (for want of a better word).

Samir
