Dear George, Greetings from Goa. BTW Lok Shakti is not a registered political party. It still remains a forum. And if I am not mistaken it is slated to remain as a forum, it's president Mr. Datta Naik having gone on record at its Margao Convention that it shall not indulge in politics. I however had hoped that it would be a registered political force with certain written down ideology. We at Goa Su-Raj maintain that politics can only be fought with politics. Forums are seen as extensions of political groupings. All said and done, Goa needs good political parties who compete with each other to do better than the other. An essence of fair political competition will bring out the best in terms of benefits to the people in the name of good governance.
