QUOTE: The manner in which MLA Filipe Neri Rodrigues (now the Deputy Chief Minister was bodily lifted before the speaker put the confidence motion to vote, prompted the Governor to term his act "unconstitutional". Gomantak Times has the frame-by-frame footage of the incident." ----------------------------------------------------------------------
OPENING MOVES: Gomantak Times reports on some important
decisions taken by the Rane Cabinet on Friday:
* Zilla Parishad polls postponed by a week.
* Government to come out with white paper on financial
health of the state.

of corruption and politicisation] to be reconsitituted.

government at huge payments] to be scrapped.

[GUESS WHAT? THE PARRIKAR GOVERNMENT'S LAST LAUGH?] It's a 'fusion
carnival'. The morning 'alvorada' will include beats of the Shigmo
Dhol. In the floats parade, there will be Shigmo floats (Taranga
Mell, Dhangar and Goddimodni). H.
QUOTE: The previous tourism minister Matanhy Saldahna suggested
that we include Shigmo in the carnival celebrations. He said all
of us are one, why should there be such a difference between
the two events? I hear he had also asked the Shigmo
organisers to include some Carnival concepts in their events
too. This concept has been received very well by all quarters.

party "wicked in paradise". Dress code: colourful and festive
