FALEIRO KO GUSSA KYOM ATTA HAI Loyalty to the party is conditioned to self and personal interest. GIVE a dog a bad name and then hang it for justification Those who prospered under Ghandis banner are sitting on the fense to explore greener pastures Those who have abandoned like Scindia are in the cold.Many more have deserted or are on the verge to shift ,albeit for self development Faleiro had joined Goa Congress and was lone winner and did ghar vapsi.Then he backtracked, rose in the party with responsibility. During last election the fiasco in fielding candidate against Vijay in Fatorda backfired and co sequently his dream wa shattered. At one point he took vow of silence,promoted cause of youngsters but did a u turn because motely 200 voters prevailed upon him to become young and he succumbed to their pressure or wish or both. IT appears that with all his closeness to the high command he lacks support of locals.Then ditching the prospects of Pratima, Congress lost a foot soldier but he succeeded in removing likely competion at Navelim. Faleiro sense of gratitude is an illusive trait Now some others are pronouncing his hurt feelings at his bidding no doubt to justify perhaps his next move which is the talk of the town.There is not much scope for the Congress with infighting, desertations and come back of traitors or opportunists.The rumours are too strong to be ignored ,not withstanding his stoic silence.Politics makes strange bed fellows and there are no permanent enemies or friends in politics only opportunists .It is not surprising the visit of Averatano to his den.. Fadnavis visit to Rane is tirningrumour mills.The moment selfish interests are checkmated the mask is off, the real self comes to the fore TMC and APP are becoming forces to be reckoned with and are itching to open their innings in Goa with disgruntled elements, The voters are fed upwith foggies in the Congress still trying to dominate the scene till death does them apart Untill the old stock in Congress takes a break there is no hope for its survival in Goa and all talks ,strategies of replacing chief and down up talk is bulshit The winnability ,financial or muscle power will take precedence as in the past Imagine APP absorbing discarded waste , staunch supporters living APP and seeking comfort with decandent MGP is not news to the ears. In the end all parties are only dividing the votes ,BJP votes remaining intact, dissenting elements suppressed with iron fist, it is opportunity BJP
