CONGRESS IN GOA ON THE BRINK High profile emissaries of Congress make a futile attempt to revive electoral fortunes Congress has lost support and trust of voters and taken them for granted for too long The erosion of values have hit the bottom The desertion by ten MLA,s ,then Faleiro and earlier Rane and Mavin have put the last nail in the coffin of Congress aspirations for revival and rejuvenation More dissertions are in store ahead Reginaldo has changed his mind temporarily due to his hurt feelings being assuaged as of now.The rats are jumping the sinking ship. All legislators were men of integrity untill selfish interest and hunger for power made them coin the word development Voters opine that most new aspirants are men of straw and cannot be trusted for their loyalty to party or principles. POACHING, intimidation, incentives and positions are great irresistible attractions to make hay while the sun shines and precedents are a galore.After winning no one has any controll on their wildest dreams Perhaps one way to stem the tide of selfish defections is to field 40% Women as the best alternative to Congress fortunes.Egos and infighting among legislators for position will be once again the bane of Congress. ThevCongress will be reduced to single digit with TMC and APP being top contenders for a change to oppose BJP of communal hatred. Congress is in for a rude shock of their hanging on their glorious existence of the past.The writing is on the wall
