BY HERALD REPORTER
MARGAO, JUNE 10 - Mickky Pacheco appeared calm and relaxed on Friday,
notwithstanding that he wasn't one of the seven MLAs sworn in as
ministers in the Pratapsing Rane cabinet. But, the flamboyant MLA
dropped enough hints that Saturday's NCP meeting scheduled in Goa would
decide the state of things to come vis-a-vis his denial of a cabinet
berth and other related issues.
According to him, Dr Wilfred de Souza and NCP leader Tariq Anwar are
coming to the state from Mumbai by the 5.30 am flight, adding that the
NCP meeting would take place soon thereafter.
"Whatever that is decided at tomorrow's meeting would be acceptable to
me", was how Mickky reacted, saying that all issues would be discussed
threadbare at the meeting.
Asked whether he would agree to any decision taken at tomorrow's
meeting to form the government with BJP's support, Pacheco reiterated
"whatever decision my party takes will be binding on me. Who knows what
would be the situation tomorrow".
Saying he has no ill-feeling after having been denied the ministerial
berth, Pacheco sounded philosophical "a happy man will never have
problems. I am relaxed. I am not worried at all".
He further added that whatever he wants would be given to him by the
Party President, Sharad Pawar. "I have full faith in Sharad Pawar that
he would do justice for me. That's the reason why he has deputed NCP
leaders to Goa for tomorrow's meeting", he added.

Goa for goondas

Well, if one could go by the results of the just concluded electons, it
is shameful to say that Goans are compared to the illitrate lot of
Biharis. We elect notorious candidates, criminals , and the likes
similar to the situation in Bihar.
It is disgusting to say, that we long to run away from Goa due to the
looting being done by the politicians from the sincere and good goans.

It is unfortunate that Micky

It is unfortunate that Micky Mouse got elected by the Benaulim
electorate. People had not learnt their lessons and I blame it on greed
of the people who later complain of 'No Developement'. How can a goon
and adulterous man like the one in the picture above think of the
welfare of the people? He is as adulterous as the old haggard dotor of
Siolim. Micky might have won but not with people's power but money
power, of course, not of his own but from a dead black lady from the
States. Remember, Micky jumped off the BJP wagon only when it almost
sank off. Sorry to the people of Benaulim, you voted out good
candidates.

Mr. Micky was offered Congress ticket but he opted for NCP. Dr. Willy
was the main mentor behind it. Dr. Egocentric knows very well how and
when to play political cards that creates political turmoil. Goans
please save Goa from these kind of politicians.

What a shame

It is a sad commentary on the affairs of Goan politics. Imagine,
ministers like Madkaikar, who is the most corrupt and illiterate in the
Rane ministry. What has happened to good and honest politicians. Have
Goans become so gullible and money-minded that they will vote for
anyone who offers them monetary benefits. Why can't Goans think in the
long term and for the development of Goa? These clowns will continue
with their game of musical chairs. Otherwise, why would they spend
around 4 to 5 crores to win an election?

Selfish politicians

Dr. Willy is the most egoistic MLA in Goa legislative assembly. He says
that he will ask for everything from the new government. NCP has only
two seats in Goa and yet he creates an political uncertainity. Next
assembly election will be the end of Saligao MLA.

Micky The Clown

This guy is absolutely pathetic. He has shown himself to be arrogant,
utterly revolting and a sheer disgrace to the ethics of a public
office.The Congress is doomed if they pander to the likes of Micky and
the sooner they put an end to this nonsense the better.

You are right

You are right buddy, but if you still see him close physically, he
looks more than that as if just released from the Tihar jail on unsound
mental condition.
