Jose Colaco a Portuguese citizen who does nothing for Goa except put it down and still lives in the 1960s is trying to scuttle an initiative that we are trying to bring in Goa. I am answering this just in case others have similar issues.
If I wanted to suck up to the Goa CM, I could have taken a plum post with the current Govenrment if I wanted to and made hundreds of crores like other politicians. This initiative has not come from me. Savio Noronha, a Goan who returned from Germany has started a small IT company in Margao. He is the one who approached me saying that all of Goa govt's sops are directed towards big companies, and how hard it is to make ends meet for someone who is on his own. I mean we are not working in Bahamas for some big hospital, so jobbies who have no idea what it takes to run a business especially in India, should be the last people who raise such questions. Savio also has other Goan IT entreprenuers with him. I decided to take it up. Suffice it to say, that this sop --- if it all comes through, and that may not be easy --- will not benefit me unless I move to Goa. As to my attack on Rajan Parrikar's credentials namely US citizenship, it is very open. Btw Rajan attacked Oscar. Oscar himself has defended himself, and so have others ---- Miguel Braganza gave a proper fitting answer to Rajan on behalf of GBA, for instance. I thought quite some time whether one should go to the Goa CM or not. For one, while everyone shouts from the rooftop that this govt. is corrupt, not one including NRGs are willing to nail the corrupt. So, unless they are willing to take the steps or even help in the steps that I did initiate ( I spent lakhs of my own personal money to bring to the market a spy cam for instance and just one person in Goa was interested in it ---- in fact, some Goan stalwarts even told me that no businessman would be interested in nailing the corrupt), whatever they are talking is nothing but hot air. I am definitely not accountable to those who dont do anything for Goa, except try to disrupt any good initiatives, least of all to those who have taken citizenships of other countries. What has this Jose Colaco done other than just make money for himself sitting in Bahamas and put down Goa ? Why is he putting down someone who is trying to do something good ? If at all, some jobs will be created in Goa due to this. Just talking negative when one has no stakes is the most destructive attitude of these NRGs. Guys, I dont need to do this. I am quite comfortable in Bangalore. samir
