Hi all, J. Colaco wrote:"This includes those who are wary that the ghost of the BJP-past might return to Goa." The ghosts of the past need not concern anybody that much. That time, the minorities suffered without even a clear majority for the BJP. Now, the BJP has an absolute majority, for the first time in Goa history, Hell could overshadow the comparatively 'small' ghosts that were excorcised. Will Manohar execute the hidden Hindutva agenda of his party? or be polite and respectful of all minority rights and Cultural LIFE in Goa! I hope and pray, and wish that M. Parrikar the Goa Ch. Minister, goes for the latter. A full gaurantee on all minority cultural rights without let or hindrance. Live annd Let Live! Nascy Caldeira

The hosannas sung about Cristaos having turned to BJP need to be consumed with a pinch of salt. "Pomp marpak" is the common expression. One should not be taken aback to witness the reverse osmosis in days to come. My dear Soter, I suggest that ALL the people of Goa take a step back and a deep breath. This includes those who are wary that the ghost of the BJP-past might return to Goa. While it is the "duty" of watch dogs and activists to keep the potentially unlimited power of 'gorrment' in check, too much of confusão right from the start serves nobody well. The BJP has run on its manifesto. The people have voted. It matters little whether it was just an anti-incumbency vote or not. The fact is that when the votes were counted, the BJP won. Now, will there be a run for the 'money generating' cabinet positions e.g. PWD? But of course! A few comments: The 'double speak', ' hossanas' and 'pompo' having been noted, it will be worth watching whether the Hebles, Hazares, Bedis etc will have reason to be active for the next 5 years, and if so, whether they will do so. I leave you with this url from about 17 months ago. There is a saying: What goes around, comes around. The "amdars" will take turns in making their rupees, and the people will continue to offer themselves to be 'pomped' into being ....... http://issuu.com/herald-goa/docs/2_nov jc --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
