I am not surprised at Aires Rodrigues changing his
stances. And I am surprised why others are suprised at
his support of BJP. In his interview to Goa Today, he
has said that the his Goa Bachao Andolyan (GBA) cannot
remain "political".
Lot of secular-minded Goans would not want BJP back in
power, however good it claims to be and however good
is may have been during its short reign. The saffron
colour and "ardi charddi" do not fit into the Goan
secular environment.
In Aries's about turn, the GBA should learn a lesson,
though I am surprised why they encouraged such a
person in the first place. Goa Today's Managing Editor
Vinayak Naik has called him "ever so dynamic".
Probably an untrustworthy dynamo would have seemed
apt.
May his tribe increase.

PS: Can someone post a full list of the candidates
constituency wise. Or, is it available on the web/
