[Goanet] Press Note for kind favour of Publication
Date: 18 June, 2016 *Press note for kind favour of publication* The *Goa Su-Raj Party- GSRP* wants to come clear on the issue of 'floating Casinos' in the Mandovi River, which issue has been giving sleepless nights to the well meaning and concerned citizens of Goa, and also, on the issue of the current ongoing national debate over the 'Offices of Profit' held by Elected Represented of the People. With regards to the Floating Casinos in the Mandovi River is concerned, this Party is concerned about the government clearing the way for the floating casinos to be relocated into the Chapora River. The Central Government is preparing to dredge Goa's sensitive rivers in the guise of clearing the silt but the actual intention is to relocate the floating casinos deeper inside the hinterland rivers, especially in the Chapora River, to make it easy for the tourists who will land at the future MOPA Airport to descend on this exclusive entertainment enclave cut out into the Chapora River. The Party is with the people of Chapora and the surrounding areas who are agitating against such dredging and placement of floating casinos at the mouth of the Chapora River. This Party's one point programme on floating casinos is that these shall be shifted to off-shore locations and Goa's rivers shall be freed from the curse of being polluted with sewage generated by these floating citadels, as also hinder the free movement of the normal river traffic, especially when this Party intends to put up a qualified river transportation system in place to decongest the road traffic on Goan roads. With regards to the ongoing debate on the Offices of Profits enjoyed by Elected Representatives, this Party has deliberated on this issue threadbare during its formation some 15 years ago when it emphatically decided that no elected representative must hold any office of profit. The result of these deliberations was the inclusion of Article 38 in the Constitution of the Party which Article features in the Articles of the Constitution which cannot be amended throughout to lifespan of the Party. The Article 38 reads as follows: Article 38: *APPOINTMENTS OF CHAIRPERSONS & DIRECTORS OF GOVT. CORPORATIONS & INSTITUTIONS.* *The members of the Party who are elected to the Legislative Assembly as MLAs and who are not included in the Cabinet shall be in-elligle to be appointed as Chairpersons and/or Directors of Government Corporations and Institutions.* If this very Article in the Constitution of this Party is not the 'futuristic planning and foresight', then we do not know what futuristic planning is all about. Today, the run is on the tax-payer's money. It must be squandered on the maintenance of Government's line toting yesmen and yeswomen, to re-habilitate them in more ways than one, rather than seeing to it that the tax-payer's get the benefit of their hard-earned money which goes into paying their taxes. In the future, tax-payers shall do well to question the governments of the day on how their hard-earned money is used and for what purpose. Afterall, the RTI Act is a powerful tool at the disposal of irked tax-payers.

[Goanet] Press note for kind favour of publication.
The Goa Su-Raj Party-GSRP is deeply concerned about the grievious assault on Cavrem Panch Member Mr. Ravindra Velip in Sada sub jail, Vasco, where he was detained with others for protesting against the transportation of e-auctioned Fomento ore. The police violence against the citizens of Goa afftected by the mining is re-visiting us when a 80 year old Dora D'Souza was jailed at Aguada for protesting against illegal mining and ore transportation some years ago. The probe over this grievous assault on Ravindra Velip must be handed over to a High Court retired judge for a thorough investigation and the culprit jail attendant/s brought to book. Goans shall not tolerated lawlessness at the hands of the government authorities. Their raison d'etre is to protect the citizenry of Goa who pays their taxes and have every right to voice their displeasure about the non-functioning of the government machinery. This Party is happy to note that OPA [Orixt Porjecho Awaz] of Naqueri Betul's which is agitating against the DefExpo has joined the Cavrem locals in their protest against illegal tranportation of mining ore. floriano lobo General Secretary/Spokesperson Goa Su-Raj Party-GSRP Email: goasura...@gmail.com Mobile: 9890470896.

THE GOA SU-RAJ PARTY-GSRP condoles the tragic passing away of its dear colleague Fr. Bismarque Dias in GOA's activism to save whatever is left of Goa after its loot and plunder by vested interest since 1961. The Party shares the grief of his family members, near and dear ones, and wishes them the courage to face this unparalled and excruciating tragedy. The undersigned Party's executive member has been the signatory to the 'inquest panchanama' conducted on his body this morning by Dy. SP (Panjim) Nelson Albuquerque and rules out suicidal/accidental death not ruling out homicide. The Party hopes that the same will be reflected in the Post Mortem report conducted at the GMC Morgue this afternoon and no stones shall be spared to be turned to bring Fr. Bismarque's assailants to justice. In Fr. Bismarque Dias, Goa has lost the most vocal, enterprising, honest, good-hearted and compassionate son who did not care if there was dinner waiting for him at the day's turn but would spend the last pie available to him on the needy to fight for their injustices. May his good soul rest in eternal peace. R.I.P. Sd/- Floriano Lobo General Secretary GSRP, GEAG, GRA & convener PPS.
[Goanet] Press note for kind favour of publication Re: Ram Sene's proposed entry into Goa.
December 5, 2013 To: The Editor, Press note for kind favour of publication. *** The Goa Su-Raj Party has taken note of the reports in the media to the effect that RAM SENE is poised to open it's branch office in Goa in February, 2014. The Goa Government, and more specifically Goa's Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar as Goa's Home Minister is requested to take this report seriously and block the entry into Goa of this communal and self-righteous organization whose intensions are amply made known that it seeks to police the Goan Society at large as according to it's dictates, and at the same time, he is urged to tread with utmost care and diligence in this matter. The people of Goa have already indicated their intolerance to Ram Sene's entry into Goa. The Goa Su-Raj Party is happy with the stand taken by Miccky Pacheco of Goa Vikas Party on this issue. GSRP exhorts the people of Goa to stay alert should Ram Sene be given the official green signal to set shop in Goa by the Goa's Government. Floriano Lobo Gen.

[Goanet] Press Note for kind favour of Publication re: Tarun Tejpal of Tehelka Publications.
28 Nov 2013 To the Editor, TOI-Goa, Sir, Sub: Press Note for kind favour of Publication re: Tarun Tejpal of Tehelka Publications. It is with a heavy heart that GSRP views the ongoing 'rape' charges against the Editor of a dynamic publication such as Tehelka where a junior colleague is the victim. Human beings will always be human beings and the animal instinct cannot be taken away at best of times, however much it may be sought to be suppressed. But there are societal norms to be observed and clean robes to be adorned. We could have understood the 'dog eat dog' today's world wherein any and all allegations could be pinned on personalities for ulterior motives. And there are laws, rules and regulations, plus authentic investigations under which these allegations are segregated, pushed forward or crimped and thrown into the dust-bin with the alleged victim punished appropriately for trying to tarnish the image of a person in the society for various reasons starting with avenging minor indiscretions to intent to gain appreciation and/or monetary benefits which are not actually due. All said and done, w.r.t. the Tehelka Chief, with whom we had the pleasure of shaking hands in the initial stages of the Tehelka set up, and more recently, welcoming him to the village of Moira, which village hosts the headquaters of the Party, we believe in the cardinal law of nature where one speaks out only what one is totally and absolutely in true harmony of conviction. We, tend to believe, that Tarun Tejpal is guilt of rape as suggested, because, these are his words [more or less] when he spoke at the previously organized 'Think Fest' in Goa. QUOTE Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Goa. During the course of this 'Think Fest' you may eat what you want, drink what you want, sleep with whoever you want. Because ...you are in GOA. Unquote. This Party would like to give a message to Tarun Tejpal. Yes, Tarun. You have dug your grave in Goa. And it is now waiting anxiously for you to occupy it Sd/- Floriano Lobo Gen.

TIMES OF INDIA: TOI - SC allows right to negative ballot, voters can now reject all candidates - Provide 'None Of The Above Option, EC Told - VOTERS TO HAVE SAY, NOT THEIR WAY YET. PRESS NOTE FOR KIND FAVOUR OF PUBLICATION The Goa Su-Raj Party is happy that the vision of Ex-Vice President of India Krishan Kant [ 21 Aug 1007 - 27 July 2002] has at last fructified. Needless to say that GSRP has been the votary of NOTA since the beginning and has voted NOTA effectively in two voting booths viz Tonca-Panjim and SXHS-Moira by the President and the Gen. Secretary of the Party respectively in the last Parliamentary Elections. http://www.goasu-raj.org/introduction.asp. However, having NOTA on the EVMs and Ballot Papers will be effective only and only if a certain percentage of the total voting [and above] going to NOTA is defined where re-elections shall be ordered with candidates who contested de-barred from contesting again in this re-elections. Hopefully, the EC will set these norms as quickly as possible so that the voters have faith in this SC's ruling which is a breath of fresh air in today's criminalized politics sans exception. As regards the Ordinance, The Goa Su-Raj Party is not surprised by this 'hiccup' from Rahul Gandhi whom this Party has always considered as a half-baked politician not having his own mind at all. Being the VP of the Congress Party, and if he was sincere, he should have stonewalled this ORDINANCE in it's infancy. This later-day hiccup has shown exactly what his CONGRESS PARTY is all about. Considering that the Congress has projected Rahul Gandhi as it's Prime Minister designate in the 2014 Parliamentary Elections, he has already cut his own feet under him by this ill-timed 'hiccup' and has rendered himself a 'LAME MISERABLE DUCK'. But if the Opposition BJP should think that this is to their advantage, it better think again. for GOA SU-RAJ PARTY - GSRP Sd/- Floriano Lobo Gen.

[Goanet] Press Note for Kind favour of publication - Re: Anti-MOPA - Anti-NAVY protracted fight by 'GOANS FOR DABOLIM ONLY'
The Goa Su-Raj Party is happy that the anti-MOPA and anti-NAVY stance taken by 'GOANS FOR DABOLIM ONLY' has 'tweaked' both, the Government of Goa as also the Indian Navy, as is apparant through the reports in the media, today, where the District Magistrate (South) has made it mandatory for the activists of 'GOANS FOR DABOLIM ONLY' to file AFFIDAVITs before it while seeking permissions to hold anti-MOPA and anti-NAVY public meetings in the South, as also, the shortly to be commissioned by the Defense Minister, A.K. Anthony, a new MIG-29K Squadron of fighter jets in Goa on May 11, 2013 at INS Hansa. The government of Goa as well as the mighty Indian Navy must realize that when 'GOANS' are sought to be taken for a jolly good ride, and when their proverbial inexhaustible patience [SUSCEGAD attitued to things] runs out, only the Almighty will be able to save their enemies, as has been proved time and time again. With GSRP solidly in the back-ground of the 'GOANS FOR DABOLIM ONLY' , these two anti-GOAN institutions are well advised to brace for a 'FIGHT TO THE FINISH' and until MOPA project is scrapped altogether and the Indian Navy's plans to consolidate it's 'HOLIDAYING STATUS' in Goa is scuttled, in the Indian Navy's classified as 'SMALL DEFENCE ENCLAGE' at Dabolim shifted to the Seabird Base at Kawar. Let it be known to all and sundry that GOANS will not tolerate 'bad rubbish' and wants it out of their skin. So much for the Indian Navy's illegally occupying Goa's Civilian airport at Dabolim for 52 running years. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Now it must prepare to get out. The honey-moon is over and out. GOANS FOR DABOLIM ONLY will now want to 'EXPAND their 'FIGHT' from mere holding of public meetings to paralyzing the workings of these two institutions ad infinitum until their OBJECTIVES are attained and they brought down to their KNEES.

[Goanet] Press Note for kind favour of Publication - Re: Passing of the UNANIMOUS Resolution in the Goa Legislative Assembly to demand Special Status for GOA.
The GOA SU-RAJ PARTY is happy that the Government of Goa has felt it fit to pass the Resolution in the Legislative Assembly, unanimously, to demand SPECIAL STATUS FOR GOA under Article 371-I of the Indian Constitution. GOA should celebrate this unique event that has happened to Goa in the past 51 years of it's history. Needless to say that this Party is appreciative of each one of the 40 MLAs that includes the Chief Ministers Manohar Parrikar for the same.

Please find here below the Press Note for Publication. Kindly oblige. Thanking you, Yours Sincerely, Sd/- Floriano Lobo Gen.

As per the report, it is evident that despite the Goa Police Intelligence Services were fully capable of bringing this investigation to a logical conclusion, the Government chose to pass the buck on to the CBI, Mumbai, in order to play for time and hoping that the matter of Cipriano's Custodial Death will die a natural death with the burial of his remains, which has been executed UNDER PROTEST, as the family was given an alternative either to take possession of the body or have the Government dispose it off as it deems fit. The Goa Su-Raj Party feels that, since the Government of Goa had informed the High Court of Bombay at Goa that it will hand over the case to CBI for further investigation to bring the culprits to book, it has now no alternative but to expedite the investigation entrusted to 'SIT' [Special Investigation Team] on urgent basis, so that Cipriano, not only gets justice for his custodial death, but also Goa is reassured that such dastardly crimes are not committed again by men in uniform, whose raison d'etre is to protect and not eliminate innocent citizens of Goa in their custody, to keep with their professed oath. Cipriano Fernandes was a citizen of Moira. On the day of his funeral [7 November, 2012], the Goa Su-Raj Party, headquartered at Moira, had, through an abundance of placards, demanded JUSTICE for Cipriano's Custodial Death and had let it known through the 'Press Interviews' that the Party will see to it that justice for Cipriano's custodial death is delivered and the culprit policemen involved in this custodial death are brought to book. This Party, therefore, requests the Government to take this matter seriously, now that it has bounced back into its lap again, and bring it to a logical conclusion, swiftly and determinedly, while 'CIPRIANO' is still alive in GOA's memory, failing which, this Party will be constrained to take up this matter with the High Court of Bombay at Goa. End.
[Goanet] Press note for kind favour of Publication- Re: SP (North) for curbs on Loud Music Noise Pollution
Date: 24 November, 2012 To, The Editors, Bureau Chiefs, Staff/Senior Reporters, Admins of Blogs Web pages, Sub: Press Note for kind favour of Publication. Sirs, The Goa Environmental Action Group [GEAG] which has been in the fore-front in bringing Loud Music Noise Pollution in Goa to it's heels since 1997, along with Goa Su-Raj Party [GSRP] lauds the news reports in the section of the press about the intensions of Mr. Vijay Singh, SP (North) to tackle this menace with an iron hand, which menace has been getting out of hand and disturbing peaceful life in normally quiet and pristine villages of GOA due to not only Rave Parties but also due to commercial/entertainment establishments including beach shacks in Goa resorting to indiscriminate loud music to promote their businesses. Only iron-handed supervision and the WILL of the enforcing agency, the Police itself, is the VITAL ingredient, as sufficient Laws, Rules and Regulations are well in place but what is totally missing is the strict implementation. We have full faith in the Collector (North) - Mr. Mihir Vardhan wanting to implement these Laws, Rules and Regulations as the Chairperson of the Anti-Noise Pollution Committee (North) put together by the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay at Goa, but the general refrain from Committee members such as the undersigned has been the lack of will from the police in implementation of the same. It is our hope that Mr. Singh does not turn out to be the 'ear-licking' POODLE of the POLITICIANS from the ROARING LION that he has come out to be on this issue of Loud Music Noise Pollution.

[Goanet] Press Note for Kind Favour of Publication - Re: Lusofonia Games, GOA-2013.
Date: November 3, 2012 To, The Editors, Bureau Chiefs, Staff Reporters, Admins Internet Blogs, Websites, Distribution lists, Social Media (FB Twitter) , Ors. Sub: Press Note for Kind Favour of Publication - Re: LUSOFONIA GAMES- GOA -2013. The Goa Su-Raj Party is happy that GOA is racing against time to meet the deadline for the LUSOFONIA GAMES-GOA to kick-off on November 2, 2013. If nothing else, Goa's sportmen and sporting fraternity will be left with some quality sporting venues. However this Party has certain reservations over the conduct of the above games in GOA for the underlying reasons:- This Party is of the view that these Lusofonia Games should not have been allowed to take place in GOA in the first place for the express reason that the Portuguese, having ruled Goa for 450 years and having transformed the very psyche of GOANS, the Mario-Chavan CO-OPERATION TREATY of 1974 between Portugal and India was signed in New Delhi without taking GOANS into confidence. If this was done, then GOANS would have demanded the inclusion of the CLAUSE in the TREATY that Article 371 of the Constitution of India be amended to give GOA the Special Status to preserve and protect Goa's unique Identity, which even Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had flogged before and after Goa's annexation.This singular act would not have reduced GOANS to the status of being 'beggars' asking for Special Status for GOA from the Union Government of India to protect it's land and it's valuable identity. This Party takes exception to the statement made by the General Secretary, Olympic Association (Goa), Mr. Gurudatta Bakta in the section of the press that Lusofonia Games in Goa will have a 50% participation of athletes from other states of India along with the Goan teams. It is very surprising that no one has informed and/or educated Mr. Bakta as to what the word 'Lusofonia' stands for and therefore the games. It is in deed, a consolation that Mr. Alberto Colaco and Mr. Elvis Gomes have stated their stand that Goa's Football team will be a team comprising of GOANS only. These tall Goans must prevail over the sentiments of ignorant others and not be cowed down in maintaining this stand. In these Lusofonia games, the participation by athletes, footballers etc. must be strictly of persons hailing from GOA and/or of Goan Origin only, including those from Damao, Diu and Nagar Aveli, and none else, all being the former Portuguese Colonies or a part thereof. This Party has objections to Mr. Gurudatta Bakta sharing any executive responsibilities in sports bodies of Goa. One, because he has never been a sportsman or an athlete himself, let alone representing Goa in any sporting events, and two, he not being a Goan. His having sponsored various sporting events in the capacity of being the 'liquor baron' does not merit a place in the decision making sports bodies of Goa. Hopefully, the good Sports Minister of Goa will take note of this. This Party is confused with GFA's Vice President Elvis Gome's statement Quote PRIORITY SHOULD BE FOR THE STATE AND COUNTRY [NT] Unquote . He will do well to clarify what exactly he meant by this statement and if he was 'NOT' referring to Lusofonia Games. The Goa Su-Raj Party will be forced to organize massive demonstrations against the Goa Lusofonia Games, 2013, if even a single non-elligible athlete of non-Goan origin is participating in these games.

[Goanet] Press Note for Kind Favour of Publication - Re: Special Status for Goa.
Date: 29 October, 2012 To, Editors, Bureau Chiefs, Staff Reporters, Admins of Blogs distribution lists and Ors. Sir/Madam, It is heart-warming to read in the section of the press that Cansaulim Panchayat, the home of late Matanhy Saldanha who espoused the cause of Goa's Special Status, is one among many others to pass a resolution in it's Gram Sabha that Goa should be given the Special Status that has been denied for the past 50 years. The clamour for Special Status, to save Goa's land and therefrom it's fast dwindling identity is going to deafen the ears of New Delhi in the coming months as Goa is fast approaching the date for the celebrations of the Golden Jubilee of it's 'so called' Liberation from the foreign colonial rulers that never was. Unfortunately for gullible Goans, it was the close to home colonial power that replaced the European Colonial power. The Goa Su-Raj Party's number one priority is the Special Status for Goa to safe-guard Goa's interests, it's unique identity which has been forged into being as a result of the mix of Western and Eastern Cultures for 450 years of it's occupation by a Western Culture, but not being able to conquer the base culture of the people of Goa. It is said that a drowning man will cling to a stand of floating 'straw' in the hope that he will be saved. Goans are increasingly realizing that they are the ones that are getting drowned and are on the verge of being wiped out if they remain lethargic and complacent to the ground realities any further. The Goa's many freedom fighters must accept the blame for Goa's present ills, they having remained satisfied for having gotten rid of the Portuguese, some never resting until Goa was pushed into neighboring Maharastra through the much sought after Merger. Time has now come for Goans to come to their senses and work tirelessly to attain what they should have been offered, in the least, as early as 1961. Viva Special Status for Goa. Viva Goa and Goans.

[Goanet] Press Note for Kind favour of Publication: Re: More Shacks in Baga - No CCTV in shacks
Date: September 30, 2010 To, The Editors. Sirs, Sub: Press Note for Kind favour of Publication: Re: More Shacks in Baga - No CCTV in shacks As according to the news reports [30.9.12], the Chief Minister Mr. Manohar Parrikar seems to have buckled-down to the vociferous demands of the Shack-Owners to relax the already in-place POLICY on beach shacks for which the general public of Goa have been waiting for with bated breath. Practically everyone [except the vested interests] have hailed the new policy, including this Party, terming it as 'GOOD but not GOOD ENOUGH' , meaning, 'it could have been tighter'. Now this new U-Turn on this POLICY by the CM is unprecedented and undesired giving credence to the phrase coined by the general public that Manohar Parrikar's Government is a Government full of U-TURNS. This Party want to know as to why the POLICY was declared in a hurry if all the stake-holders were not taken into confidence? When the policy decision is made, how can the CM bend -down to say that the 'grievances of the Shack-Owners will be addressed' ? If the CM has felt the need to visit the beaches after declaring the POLICY, isn't this exercise upside-down, when he should have apprised himself of the ground realities before declaring the POLICY? If this much touted about new POLICY was all for the benefits of the Shack Owners and nothing for the common man, then the general public would have had nothing to say except that the Manohar Parrikar Government is all for the destroyers and looters of Goa just like what they are saying about the MINING in Goa. This Party will have no alternative but to take Manohar Parrikar's Government to task, if necessary through a WRIT PETITION in the High Court of Bombay at Goa [ like it had done w.r.t. IFFI in 2004, and where the Manohar Parrikar Government had narrowly slipped through if the already declared POLICY on Shacks in Goa is DILUTED, specifically in the number of Shacks to be allowed, the installation of CCTV cameras in the Shacks and the BAN on LOUD MUSIC as instituted in the said POLICY.

[Goanet] Press Note for Kind Favour of Publication: Is BJP suffering from lack of Confidence???
The Goa Su-Raj Party, Goa's forward looking Regional Political outfit, views the statement made by the National President of the BJP, Mr. Nitin Gadkari Quote WILL SCRAP FDI IN RETAIL IF VOTED TO POWER Unquote with a pinch of salt and which leaves much to be desired. This goes contrary to BJP's blue-eyed boy Arun Shourie, when he has supported the diesel price hike as well as FDI in retail. It must be noted that one of the BJP's election planks for the 2002 Parliamentary Elections was pro FDI. It looks like the BJP's thinking is on these lines: ' When the Congress does it, it is WRONG and the Nation will drown, but when we do it, it is RIGHT and the Nation will be saved'. Is it??? It looks like the BJP's leadership is rudderless and is swinging to the winds like the 'air-sock'. For a political party waiting in the by-lanes to come back to power, the least that is expected of it is to check it's own record on issues that they have been hammering the general public with, earlier, and to show a little bit of consistency in what it says and does. Primary, above all, the BJP is required to ooze out 'confidence' with statements like when we come to power' and not 'if voted to power', so that the people may take it seriously for once. After 'Babri-Masjid - Ram Temple ', and 'India Shining' debacles, if the BJP is going to cling to every issue such as FDI, diesel price rise, etc. etc. with which the Congress in sprinting way ahead, it shows the bankruptcy of thought process and gives the impression that the BJP is clutching to every straw that is floating by to save itself from drowning. Hope better sense prevails. Sd/- Floriano Lobo Gen.

[Goanet] Press Note for kind favour of Publication - Re: New 'Shacks' Policy
The Goa Su-Raj Party appreciates the efforts put in by the Manohar Parrikar Government to bring out a new ' Beach-Shacks' policy, which reduces the number of 'shacks' on Goa's cluttered and crowded beaches, and has also put a 'SUPERVISORY' ingredient into the policy to maintain law and order on the tourists-infested Goan Beaches during the season. Also, the direction to restrict the 'music' as well as 'lighting' in the shacks near the known Turtle Nesting sites is much appreciated. This appreciation comes in the wake of the Manohar Parrikar Government going ahead with a restrictive 'beach-shacks' policy even when it's own Calangute MLA has been campaigning for a pro-indiscriminate beach-shacks policy. However the Party feels that the policy could be even tighter, and as such, it is not good enough as per this Party's stated preferences to keep the Goan beaches free from commercial activities and the nuisance that this activity creates driving the more acceptable and paying tourists, as well as the local beach-loving citizenry, away.

GOA SU-RAJ PARTY - GSRP Floriano Lobo - Gen Secretary Spokesperson addresses the Print n Electronic Media at the Party Office at Mapusa on 26 July, 2012 at 4.30 p.m. GSRP'S STAND ON: ISSUE NO. ONE: THE 'LAADLY LAXMI' SCHEME OF THE CURRENT BJP GOVERNMENT 1. GSRP is not against this scheme in particular, or any other schemes which are directed towards the betterment and well-being of the weaker sections of GOANS. In fact GOA should have been better prepared to help weaker sections of GOANS to face the difficult times when it has become difficult to make ends meet. 2. While GOA is borrowing heavily for it's up-keep, even to pay the salaries of Government staff and workers, with the ' debt trap' having crossed Rs. 5000 crores with it's interest payment implications, it is hardly prudent on the part of the Government to be over-generous while spending Tax-Payer's Money on grandiose schemes like 'Laadly Laxmi', etc., and get embroiled in controversies to the extent that such controversies reach the doors of the Bombay High Court at Goa. 3. There are other more important PRIORITIES that conscious governments should apply themselves to, priorities like settling the 'Garbage Menace' issue which has become intolerable and getting a bad name for GOA, potable water woes; non-traffic-management and parking chaos; sanitation and hygiene and most importantly, catering to providing decent JOBS for GOANS and especially the YOUTH who are being wasted. Goa's prime priority is to set up INDUSTRIES which will employ educated GOANs profitably, and not industries which will employ non-goans, so that they can take care of their off-springs with respect to their EDUCATION and their MARITAL requirements. 4. 'Laadly Laxmi' Scheme is hardly appropriate at times like these where the heavily borrowing government of the day is more preoccupied with getting GOA's Laadly Laxmis married. With all the controversies surrounding this scheme and the way the application forms have been distributed to favour the BJP MLAs, it is evident that the BJP in Goa is more preoccupied with establishing it's Party's VOTE-BANK rather than being preoccupied with the welfare of the people of GOA. 5. If at all such welfare schemes are put on the road for deserving GOANs, these should be controlled by autonomous cells especially set-up like 'CIVILIAN WELFARE SERVICES BOARDS' etc. for equitable and impartial distribution, not even Panchayats and/or other Government Departments which hardly qualify as impartial bodies but which are heavily controlled and at the beck-n-call of who is who in the Government. ISSUE NO. TWO: DEMAND FOR SPECIAL STATUS FOR GOA 1. This demand of GOANs has been ignored since 1961 even by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who was vocal nationally and internationally on protecting the 'westernized' 'Culture' and the unique 'Identity' of GOANS acquired over four and a half centuries. Such protection is linked to the protection and safe-guarding of the rights of GOANs to their LAND, which has gone missing since the early 70's. 2. Erstwhile Congress coalition Government of Mr. Digamber Kamat and the present Government of Manohar Parrikar are mixing 'Special Category' (which is purely financial in nature) with 'Special Status' ( which is the universal protection of Goa's Culture, Ethos and Land with it's resources) and which is specified under Article 371 of the Indian Constitution and which Article needs to be amended to suit GOA'S DEMANDS on the lines of Nagaland, Kashmir etc. 3. GSRP believes that the appellation 'SPECIAL CATEGORY STATUS' is purposefully coined-up to confuse it with the real demand for SPECIAL STATUS FOR GOA. Special Status for Goa is not only about getting more finances to the State from the Centre and the banning of sale of agricultural land to non-goans. A more comprehensive demand for Special Status for Goa must be made of the Centre through passing of an appropriate RESOLUTION in the Goa Legislative Assembly, prepared and compiled through genuine interaction with the Citizen's Groups and ignored conscious citizens of Goa, so that the Centre gets the correct picture of what Goans are aspiring for, with respect to the commitment of INDIA to GOANS prior to 1961, through promises made by India's first Premier, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru himself. 4. GSRP does hope that the Manohar Parrikar Government will act responsibly and with utmost caution on this matter of non-dilution of the DEMAND FOR SPECIAL STATUS FOR GOA.

Thanking you, Yours faithfully, Sd/- (Floriano Lobo) GS/Spokesperson GSRP 9890470896 *** Goa Su-Raj Party is disturbed by the scant heed paid by the Government of Goa to the black-flag protests by the Christian Community at the opening ceremony of the IFFI at Ravindra Bhavan, Margao, to press for the shifting of the IFFI closing ceremony date which coincides with the Feast of the Patron Saint of Goa. The clash of the date of the closing ceremony of the IFFI with the Feast of St Francis Xavier . GOEMCHO SAIB .considered as the protector of Goa and Goans from times immemorial, is a mark of disrespect to Goa and Goans, who have been preparing for this dedicated day through week-long preparations in prayers and paying homage to the relict. This song and dance affair coupled with gala dinner for the tinsel world and hollow politicians violates the very significance of the day. This Party would have thought that the powers that be would have been more considerate of the sensitivities of the Christian Community of Goa the world over, but apparently this is too much to expect from this Government which bows down to the wishes of the people only if there are riots. Such is the democracy in India. Goa Su-Raj Party urges the Chief Minister, his cabinet colleagues, most of whom are the members of the Christian Community, and the IFFI's managers/organizers such as the ESG, etc, to cancel the closing ceremony and shift the same to the 4th of December to leave the 3rd of December solely dedicated to the Patron Saint of Goa. It is to be noted that this day was sought to be made a working day by the erstwhile BJP Government which originally set the 3rd December as the date for the closing ceremony of IFFI, perhaps in order to take away or rob the importance of the said date which is even respected by Goan non-Christian communities. But the people of Goa did not allow this to happen because the whole of Goa observes this day as a revered day. Hon'ble Chief Minister, Mr. Digamber Kamat, Sir. Please take note and act with sensitive caution to the crying demands of the people of Goa so that they may not punish you when you need them most.

[Goanet] Press note for kind favour of Publication - Re: CEC's visit to Goa
The Goa Su-Raj Party is happy to announce its solidarity with the 'Pilern Citizens Forum - PCF led by Adv. Yatish Naik and others demanding the outright scrapping of the existing Photo Electoral Roll so that a new, more honest , proper and consistent electoral roll may be prepared for this State to cull the bogus voters and/or migrants enlisted in the electoral roll at the behest of influential politicians and/or dishonest enrolling officers. This Party has written to the CEO, Altinho, Panjim yesterday that a delegation of the Party Executive members want to meet with the visiting Chief Election Commissioner, who will be in Goa on 30th and 31st. August, 2010. This Party wants to bring to the notice of the CEC the different procedures followed by every Mamlatdar of the State of Goa when the procedure to be followed to enroll/transfer/delete voters into/from the electoral roll is uniform and is prescribed in the guidelines set by the CEC. This Party wants to impress upon the CEC that for far too long, due to the hog-wash electoral enlisting/deleting procedures followed by the CEO Goa through various Mamlatdars, Goans are getting the government they do not deserve. Also this Party wants to ask the CEC as to how a person who holds the EPIC ID Card can be deleted from the electoral roll for reasons of not being present at the declared place of residence when the electoral officers/enumerators visit the place. As to our best understanding, if a person is a citizen of India and if that person is enrolled into the electoral roll and is issued a voter's ID, that person cannot be deleted from the rolls for merely being absent from the place of residence. That there are set procedures to be followed to ascertain whether the person's name should be deleted or not. This Party hopes that the CEC gives due consideration and respect the Party's wishes and meet with him on this sensitive issue. Floriano Lobo Gen.

[Goanet] Press Note for kind favour of Publication - Sack IGP Ravindra Yadav
The Goa Su-Raj Party is closely following the Drugs Peddlers - Police -Politicians nexus in Goa, more so since the time that the strongly worded denials by the powers that be ' that drugs do not exist in Goa - that it is the media hype' were countered immediately by huge drugs hauls thro' police raids. It seemed to us that the upright section of the police force in Goa was challenging these cover-up statements by the powers that be. Right enough, SP (North) Boaco George was given a 'Siberian Posting' at the Raj Bhavan. The haunch that the Goa Su-Raj Party had of strong Drug Peddlers-Police-Politicians nexus in GOA has been amply proved by the statement made by Goa's DIG Ravindra Yadav in today's Times of India captioned Swedish model not revealing her Mumbai location [TOI -May 23-Pg 3]. The Party supposes that Mr. Ravindra Yadav is IPS Officer. If he is one and occupying one of the topmost Police positions in Goa, he is expected to know that under no circumstances will the Swedish Model reveal her location in Mumbai or in Goa. If she does, she is offering her throat on a silver platter to the police, drug peddlers and politicians whose necks are hanging in balance. On the contrary, we would have liked to hear from the respected IGP that he has informed her not to disclose her whereabouts and go on to make iron-clad-safe arrangements for her to depose before the Goa Police, either in Mumbai or in Goa. The Goa Su-Raj Party seeks immediate sacking of the IGP Ravindra Yadav, as such brainless police officers in top command posts are a fodder for the gallivanting criminal politicians whose sons are soon going to be exposed as drug peddlers if Lucky Farmhouses of this world stay alive. The Party is happy that the Swedish Model, who can singularly clean the Augean stables in Goa of the reek of drug peddling remains smart and vary of the ' turned' cops of the State of Goa. Thus far Lucky Farmhouse has been really 'lucky' with her life and she should not allow it to be wasted by the drug peddling punk police masquerading as police officers of Goa, at all costs.

[Goanet] Press Note for kind favour of Publication - Re: Mapusa Bandh May 12, 2010
The Goa Su-Raj Party Congratulates and commends the Mapusa Merchant's Association for organizing a very Peaceful, Committed and Total Bandh of the Mapusa Municipal Market as well as the entire Mapusa City on 12 May 2010. The essence of such peaceful and self-imposed bandhs sends a very clear and un-ambiguous message to the 'Powers that Be' that the citizenry is frustrated in its functioning and that there is still scope for it to put its ears to the ground and listen to the pulse of the people. Any intelligent governance set-up will carefully evaluate the 'LOUD AND CLEAR' message that the citizenry of Mapusa has sent under the banner of the MAPUSA MERCHANT'S ASSOCIATION, various other NGOs including the potent 'MAPUSA NAGRIKANCHO EKVOTT' against implementing the notified 'MAPUSA-ODP-2011' as well as the irresponsible functioning of the MAPUSA MUNICIPAL COUNCIL and shake itself out of its complacent skin for once before it is too late. The publicly passed resolution at the 12 May Mapusa Market Public Meeting calls for the immediate scrapping of the Mapusa-ODP-2011 which has been graphically exposed as the cunning engineering of vested interests and therefore completely and unacceptably faulty despite tremendous efforts by the Mapusa citizenry to have it corrected and/or modified before its notification. As far as the functioning of the Mapusa Municipal Council is concerned it has taken the worst flak, including the non-existent, most basic and most essential inner-Market-street-lighting which leaves the Market in total darkness after the Market has closed shop for the day leaving much scope for nefarious activities to take place under the cover of total darkness. for Goa Su-Raj Party Sd/- Floriano Lobo Gen.

[Goanet] Press Note for kind favour of Publication - The Proposed Mapusa Bandh on May 12, 2010.
The Goa Su-Raj Party is surprised over the upcoming Mapusa Bandh announcement for May 12 called in protest against faulty ODP by the All Goa Merchants Federation and Mapusa Merchants Association as reported in Herald edition of May 10, 2010 Goa Su-Raj Party is totally and completely against any 'bandh' and considers the bandh culture, as imported into Goa, as obnoxious and borders on goondagiri and extortion culture. As a part of the Citizen's movement of Mapusa to see Mapusa whole-somely and intelligently developed, the Party's members are involved in the 'MAPUSA NAGRIKANCHO EKVOTT' which has denounced the presently notified Mapusa ODP [Outline Development Plan] and has asked for it immediate modification on the lines of the requirements of the 'Memorandum' submitted to the Mapusa Municipal Council as well as to the Government by MNE. The Party is also aware, through its several members who are also a part of MNE that the proposed 'bandh' by the Mapusa Merchants Association is supposed to be a self-imposed bandh by the affected Mapusa Merchants and is not to be a total bandh as reported. If it is, then the Party strongly protests such a bandh and the authorities should take every action not allowed it at all. The Goa Su-Raj Party has always sympathized with the Mapusa Merchants and their long- standing genuine grievances, having been left to the winds by the so called authorities. As such the Mapusa Merchants have every right to protest against the non-functioning of the Mapusa Municipal Council as well as against the present Mapusa ODP, as it is entirely self-serving and caters to the vested interests and not the long-term interests of the Citizens of Mapusa, Goa and the world beyond, Mapusa, especially the Mapusa Market being a touristic attraction of the world. It is altogether another matter that in the present condition that this once famous market is, it is called a 'market' at all. for Goa Su-Raj Party Sd/- Floriano Lobo Gen.

--- *** Follow Goanet on Twitter *** http://twitter.com/goanet --- March 1, 2010 Soon after the Zilla Elections which are scheduled to take place on 7th. March, 2010, the Goa Government machinery, in all likelihood, will be working overtime to prepare for the 'preponed' 2012 scheduled Assembly Elections as mid-term elections. There are enough indications that all is not well with the ruling Congress Party in Goa, the leadership change having been demanded by the dissident group within the Party. In the eventuality that the mid-term Assembly Elections are declared in Goa, the Goa Su-Raj Party which is seeking to set up 'grassroots' Constituency Working Committees [CWCs], thereby having the CANDIDATEs for the respective CONSTITUENCY short-listed and 'declared' much before election time, will not have sufficient time to engage in this exercise. Therefore, as a short cut to declaring of the CWCs, the Party is inviting persons who are inclined towards this Party and having a wish to contest the Assembly Elections on this Party's Ticket, to establish contact with the Party so that the work of identifying the CANDIDATEs may begin in good earnest which can also facilitate in the setting up of the respective CWCs. This Party has made it clear that it will not contest in Constituencies where CWCs are not established. Persons interested in bringing about a change in the way Goa is governed may come forward NOW in order not to be too LATE.

This is to inform you that a newly initiated movement of the Citizens of Goa, by the Citizens of Goa, for the Citizens of Goa is organizing a debate on a motion ' SHOULD GOA UNIVERSITY GO CENTRAL'. Kindly do the needful and oblige. Thanking you, Yours Sincerely, Sd/- (Floriano Lobo) Convenor PRESS NOTE The recent newspaper reports on the possible up-gradation of the Goa University has, apart from springing a surprise on the citizens of Goa, brought to fore both 'positive' as well as 'negative' responses from the more enlightened academicians as well as interested citizens of Goa. In order to bring better awareness to the citizens of Goa on the pros and cons of such a move, a 'Public Open Forum' in the name of 'CITIZEN'S (of Goa) INITIATIVE has been organized in the City of Panjim at the Institute Menezes Braganza (Main Hall) for July 30th (Wednesday), 2008 at 4.30 to 7.00 p.m. to debate this issue so that no doubt lingers in the mind of the Goan whether such a move will be advantageous or not for the student community of Goa as a whole and for Goa and Goans in general. Citizen's Initiative is not linked, in anyway, to any political party or party/s or any other organization/s but is purely what it is i.e the Initiative of the Citizens of Goa. As such the financing burden of this programme in its entirety will be borne by the attending citizens themselves by way of dropping their small contributions towards offsetting the costs into the box. The debate shall be moderated by Professor M.S. Kamat of Panjim. Professor Kamat is a 'Fulbright' Scholar ( State Department, Govt. of U.S.A.) He is also the Ex-Principal of Arts and Commerce College of Vasco da Gama, as also the Ex-Member of the Executive of the Goa University.

This public debate is expected to set a precedent in the manner future policies for the Governance of Goa are designed, keeping Goa's public well informed about the pros and cons of such policies which are going to directly or indirectly affect their lives in more ways than one. The academicians of Goa are called upon to not only make their presence felt at this public debate but also to voice their opinions on the vital issue of setting up Educational standards for Goa and Goans. Needless to say that a special call goes out to the student community, especially the future University students to attend this debate in large numbers and to take part in its deliberations in an organized manner.

The Goa Environmental Action Group, jointly with the Goa Su-Raj Party has welcomed the news reports that the government has filed an affidavit in the honourable High Court of Bombay at Goa that it will recover Rs. 10.60 lacs from the three top officials of GSUDA (Goa State Urban Development Authority) namely the Member Secretary, Mr. Daulatrao Havaldar, Chief Project Officer, Mr. J.N. Chimulkar and the Asst. Project Officer, Mr. Amit Shirodkar, within a month for the demolition of the controversial project built at the Baina beach in violation of the CRZ norms, and are happy that a precedent is being set in this ever so lawless a State to correct the general malaise that has taken root in the government administration that its irresponsible acts of commission and omission on the part of its officials will go unchallenged. The norms that violators/polluters and people responsible for acts of careless misdemeanor, resulting in damages and/or losses to the public exchequer, pay. Only and only then the sense of responsibility and accountability will be respected through fear, with the prevailing 'whose father what goes attitude going out of the window for once. There is no justice better than to 'pay from one's own pocket' for one's mistakes. It is sad to note that this prevailing attitude in the government administration has deprived a sincere and devoted government servant who held the post of ' Health and Nutrition officer' in the 'Health Department, Government of Goa' and who retired as such some over 10 years ago has been willfully denied his retirement benefits, in the carelessness with which our government administration is habituated to work. In this particular case, which has been amply documented with the appropriate 'administrative' as well as 'vigilance' authorities, such norms will not only see that justice is done but is seen to be done. Such speedy justice is the need of the hour, especially, when the person concerned may not live forever to see it entering his front door. This person is none other than Dr. N.S. Dumo, the President of the Goa Su-Raj Party. If the doors of the honourable High Court needs to be knocked to get this much delayed justice, then it will be so. sd/- Floriano Lobo General Secretary and Spokesperson, Goa Environmental Action Group Goa Su-Raj Party.

Dear Sachin, All that the Goa Su-Raj Party has said is: One wrong begets another, more improved wrong. By all means, the raison d'etre (btw we are very affectionate on this French term though) of Goa Su-Raj Party is to send all national parties packing from the sacred Goan soil, for they have contributed their might to soil it (metaphor?), year in and year out. There is still good time to reverse the soiling. It is only that Goa Su-Raj is enjoying the fun to see these two national giants splitting their heads on their own. GOANS, I hope, are taking note of this. Today we see the ex-sarpanch of Sancoale Mr. Simon Carvalho put behind bars for on trumped-up charges for trying his best to stop a mega construction project on the sprawling green and pristine hills of Sancoale by M-Tech Builders from Delhi. The project is some 50 highended ( 2 crores and over) bungalows only affordable by the Delhi's bold and beautiful. Also Rajan Parrikar is at his best photographing sores coming up on Goa's pristine hills and migrants p*ssing and sh*tting around. Well well, Goa Su-Raj has the patience and the resolve to wait until this sh*t rises upto the noses of Goans, to wake them up to revolt and save themselves. with warm regards/ and btw, keep up the good work which is most appreciated. floriano/goasuraj Maybe I am wrong, but I get an impression that the Press Note of Goa Su-raj party is saying, with some merit, that because the Parikar government had murdered democracy, there is nothing wrong in the Congress party doing the same today.

Sign up for your free subscription at: http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-finance-goanet.org July 31, 2007 Press Note: The Goa Su-Raj Party is very happy to note that the Digamber Kamat Government has survived the confidence motion and that the scheming rag-tag association of opportunists led by Manohar Parrikar have been humbled. The hoarse cry of Manohar Parrikar that the Speaker, Mr. Pratapsing Rane, has murdered democracy is in fact an enjoyable joke played back on himself for his misdeeds when he was in control. He must remember that he himself had, just not murdered, but massacred democracy in 2002 when he had dissolved his government by lying to the then Governor that it was the wish of his cabinet colleagues and had forced fresh Elections prematurely on the Goan electorate for his own devious ulterior motives. He also must never forget that: (1) He had Filipe Neri Rodrigues physically removed from the house by force through the use of police and the house marshals to prevent him from voting and (2) Forged his signature on a trumped-up BJP membership form to support his case that Mr. Rodrigues had joined the BJP. The blood from these massacres of democracy has still not dried and has come back to stain him in his uncontrollable itch to sit on the chair of Goa's Chief Minister by hook or by crook. The Goa Su-Raj Party likes to inform Mr. Parrikar that his days are over and that Mr. Rane has done a great favour to Goa and Goans by keeping the 'dalals' that would sell Goa at bay. The Goa Su-Raj Party congratulates the Chief Minister Mr. Digamber Kamat and wishes him well and god-speed to go ahead and relieve the aches and pains of Goa's 'Aam Admi' with only the caution to remain forever vigilant of members of his own cabinet, some of whom who cannot be said to be in love with Goa's 'Aam Admi'.

Sir, Sub: Press Note for kind favour of publication. We shall be highly obliged. Thanking you, Yours fait hfully, for Goa Su-Raj Party Sd/- (Floriano Lobo) Spokesperson ** Press Note: The Goa Su-Raj Party is highly concerned about the audacious attempt made by hire-killers on the life of Shri. Laurel Abrances of the Margao based NGO the United Goan Democratic Front [UGDF]. To our understanding, the Goa police is on a go-slow mode into the investigation of this thwarted crime dispite of the culprits having been identified and in police custody. This is unprecedented, especially when the Home Department is in very capable hands of Shri. Ravi Naik. We strongly urge the Minister not to spare any efforts to speedily put an end to this episode and bring to books the mastermind of this dastardly act if faith is to be restored in the very existence of the Goa Police. This Party has reasons to believe that Shri. Laurel Abrances and his organization has even knocked on the doors of the newly instituted body to investigate the role of the Goa police for non-satisfactory crime investigations headed by Ex-Justice Eurico Da Silva having its office at Alto Porvorim for reasons of not being entirely satisfied by the way the police investigation in this matter is heading. We urge the good ex-justice to keep an eye on this particular investigation. This must serve as a deterrent in the near future. The Goa Su-Raj Party assures all possible support in this regard to UGDF and Shri. Laurel Abrances in particular, who is considered a friend of the Party.

[Goanet] Press Note for kind favour of Publication: Goa Legislative Assembly Elections-2007
27 March, 2007 To, The Administrator, GOANET Sir, Sub: Press Note for kind favour of Publication. Attached herewith please find the Press Note and the letter we have sent to the President of India and copied to the PMO and the Election Commission of India for the imposition of the President's rule in Goa to oversee the G.L. A. Elections-2007. We shall be highly obliged for the publication of the same in your esteemed daily. Thanking you, Yours faithfully, for Goa Su-Raj Party. Sd/- Floriano Lobo (General Secretary/Spokesperson) Tel: (Off) 2266111 (M) 9890470896 *** Press Note The Goa Su-Raj Party is concerned about the way the ruling Congress coalition is preparing itself for the oncoming assembly elections and believes that to allow Mr. Rane's government to oversee the Elections-2007 as the care-taker government will be a big mistake as it is amply clear that free and fair polls will be inhibited. Therefore, in its letter to the President of India, the Party has requested the President to consider the imposition of the President's in Goa after the dissolution of the Government. However the Party has also voiced its concern that the imposition of the President's Rule in Goa with the present Governor Shri. S.C. Jamir in charge will be no different than the care-t aker government of Mr. Rane. Therefore the Party has requested the Predsident of India that Shri. S.C. Jamir be replaced. *** Ref: GSRP/PI/PMO/03/07/001 Date: March 24, 2007 To, His Excellency, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, The President of India. Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi. Sir, Subject: Goa Legislative Assembly Elections-2007. The tiny State of Goa is scheduled to go into the Legislative Assembly Elections mode shortly, the official notification of which is awaited. This Party, which is Goa's youngest Regional Party, wishes to inform your excellency that Assembly Elections-2007, generally perceived, will be the most violent elections in Goa's history. And, it is also generally perceived that following the dissolution of the present Goa Legislative Assembly, in preparation for the Assembly Elections, Goa's Administration will be in the hands of a care-taker government of the present Chief Minister, Shri. Pratapsing Raoji Rane, who is understood will be contesting the Assembly Elections along with his son, Shri. Vishwajeet Rane, as a new entrant in the Goa's Legislative politics. This Party believes that Shri. Rane's care-taker government cannot and will not allow these coming elections to be free and fair by virtue of being in command of the government machinery, including the Election Commission and the Police. The reasons for such a belief are many-fold. For one, the recent notification of the Regional Plan 2011 for Goa was withdrawn after the massive agitation by the people of Goa, actively supported by all NGOs and all religious institutions, for the simple reason that the Chief Minister's son was one of the architects of this Regional Plan in collusion with the Town Country Planning Minister, affording him and others to sell Goa to the highest bidder without an iota of concern for Goa's well-being. The Regional Plan has been tactically withdrawn on paper only, following the agitation, but its effects are taking a toll on fragile Goa's eco-balance where Goa's hills, agricultural fields and low-lying areas are the target of massively proposed developments without any thought for the infrastructural base to sustain this development. And it is feared that after the Election-2007, this Regional Plan will be revived leading to the destruction of Goa as a whole. Crores of rupees have exchanged hands by way of massive and indiscriminate conversions of Goa's fragile terrain for settlement and/or commercial purposes, and it is inevitable that this money will be used in these elections to intimidate the right-thinking people of Goa for electoral wins. This fact is not an exaggeration, as the same view point is widely expressed daily in the newspapers, and it is the view of the 'GOA BACHO ABHIYAN' a politically neutral People's Organization which has spearheaded the agitation against this destructive Regional Plan-2011. The only alternative to strengthen the hands of the law, more specifically, the hands of the Election Commission and the Police, is to put Goa under the President's Rule after the dissolution of the Goa Legislative Assembly. However, again, it is generally perceived that putting Goa under the President's Rule will also be hugely ineffective since the present Governor of Goa, Shri. S.C. Jamir is a Congressman at heart and he has amply shown his leanings towards the present Congress lead government, especially his leanings towards the present Chief Minister, Shri. Pratapsing Raoji Rane. Therefore, it is generally desired that Shri. S.C. Jamir be replaced as Goa's Governor during the President's Rule immediately before the Assembly

Thanking you, Yours faithfully, for Goa Su-Raj Party Sd/- Floriano Lobo Gen. Secretary Spokesperson. ** Press note: [On Goan Industrialists not wanting Shri. C V Dhume to head Factories and Boilers Department as its Chief Inspector.] The Goa Su-Raj Party is intrigued by the news reports that heavy resentment has emanated from the rank and file of Goan industrialists, enough for them to consolidate their ranks to oppose the appointment of Shri. C V Dhume, the retired Chief Inspector of Factories and Boilers to replace the deposed Chief Inspector Shri. Suhas Redkar The Party has carefully noted the industrialist's grievances against the ex-Chief inspector, especially, that he has never been industry-friendly and that he harassed the industrialists while in office. This Party is of the general opinion that retired government officers should not be recalled to head departments unless there is a short-term emergency. This singular action goes a long way to demoralize those who are in line of promotions. At most, these retired officers should be put on the advisory committees to guide new-comers with their rich experience. This party feels that there are two aspects to the grievances nurtured by the industrialists at large against Shri. C V Dhume. Either Shri. C V Dhume is/was (1) a highly corrupt officer, who resorted to extortions, dishing out endless harassments to industrialist for not falling in line, or, (2) he was a stickler for rules and regulations not allowing industrialists to cut corners. This Party's general view is that the governmental watch-dog agencies such as this particular department; the Goa State Pollution Control Board; the Police etc. etc are required to be lax and tolerant. No wonder there is lack of law and order; pollution galore etc. in this State as a result of Goan general public wanting the heads of these departments to be overly lovable and tolerant, always looking the other way when it comes to punishing the law breakers. We have seen one such department, the TCP Department, bending to the extent of being floored with the notification of the controversial RP-2011, forcing the people of Goa to spill on the roads. Therefore, this Party feels that the onus is on the industrialists to call a spade a spade and expose Shri. C V Dhume if he was/is corrupt. If this is not forthcoming, then the government should go ahead with his appointment so that Goa's industry is made to behave itself and conform to the instituted rules and regulations. This will go a long way to clean the dirty backyard that has been left behind by the deposed, ever so drunken Chief Inspector of Factories and Boilers. This Party will not be surprised if the Goan Industrialists file a Writ Petition in the High Court wanting Shri. Suhas Redkar to be re-instated with full honours. End

The Goa Su-Raj Party congratulates the Secretary, Vigilance, Mr. Diwan Chand for his efforts in exposing the Sonsodo-Hyquip-Ministry of Urban Development multi-crore scam. The Party also acknowledges the efforts of the SAVE GOA FRONT to highlight the magnitude of the scam and the involvement of the Urban Development Minister Mr. Joaquim Alemao. The Party deplores the tactics employed by the Urban Development Minister to prevent the Save Goa Front from addressing the public meeting at White Hall, Cuncolim, even to the extent of inflicting bodily harm to the activists wanting to bring awareness to the people of Cuncolim of the connivance of the Urban Development Minister with the Cuncolim Industrial Estate units, releasing toxic pollutants within the Industrial Estate which has polluted most of the ground water of the area. The Party wishes Mr. Diwan Chand and the Save Goa Front convener Mr. Aires Rodrigues well and cautions the present government that any effort to sweep the dirt under the carpet to save the chair of the Urban Development Minister will have cascading effects on the government, especially on Congress Party in particular. The Party is hopeful that the police will carry out an independent and unbiased investigation into the White-Hall incidence and punishes the culprits appropriately. The Goa Su-Raj Party joins the Save Goa Front in demanding the resignation of the Urban Development Minister with immediate effect.
