The 're-engineering' of constituencies goes on even in the world's oldest democracy, the United States of America! It is known as "REDISTRICTING". The party in control of the Congress and the State legislatures realign voters to suit them in the next elections! There are challenges at the state and federal courts, but life goes on and the Democracy has survived! Of course, I don't say that the Democracy in the US is foolproof as was exposed by the last Presidential elections, which were decided by a partisan Judiciary!

It seems clear that the B.J.P is engineering a divide and rule policy, which
in the end will become a, just rule policy.
If the Goans in Goa don't wake up to this fact, irrespective of how good
this present Government governs, it will only be a matter of time when we
shall have carnage in Goa.
Voters should stand up and be counted - a good solid opposition is good for democracy.
cheers Gabe.
BJP's ATTEMPT TO RE-ENGINEER CONSTITUENCIES SLAMMED
From Pamela D'Mello
Panaji (GOA) :The ruling BJP's attempt to re-engineer the state's assembly constitutencies to its benefit while decimating opposition segments, has led to the opposition crying foul.
Objections are likely to be raised mainly from the affected opposition segments, but almost all consist of geographically contiguious areas, weakening any legal argument.(ends)
