Dear goanet readers
While in Goa in early February it was just like being in the United Kingdom.
Alcohol could not be served after 10.30 p.m. The
reason I was told was to stop politicians bribing people with alcohol to come
out and vote for them. Normally, amongst our
people, when the beer goes in the brains go out. I understand that three days
before the election there will be no alcohol at all
either for sale in the shops or served at restaurants, etc. What a blow to
tourists but if the three day ban gets people to vote
on this VIP day with a clear head, congratulations must go to the authorities.
A small sacrifice towards electing the right
candidates working for the development of Goa and its people. Politicians posts
are there to serve the people and not the
other way round.
