I think you made my point. There was only one or two journalists who wrote a couple of articles on the South Goan MP. Compare that to the multitude of posts against Chief Minister Parrikar and his govt.! And the many Ethel D'Costa's vitriolic posts against the North Goa MLA (doctor). Are North Goan politicians easy targets for Goan journalists? Is North Goa's economic interests subservient to South Goan conveniences and political egos? Kind Regards, GL
Gabe Menezes. London, England: There was more than one article by Aires Rod Castigating Churchill Alemao! Perhaps you missed it? There was another article posted on Goanet which had appeared in the Herald showing the true colours of another South Goa Politician; the man who boasted about being the biggest tax payer in Goa! I guess you missed that one as well; Churchill has instituted a case against the journos who apparently duped him. The matter is with the Police, that is why ostensibly, no action has been taken against him by the powers that be. I guess they are waiting for the law to take its course. There was also a satirical piece by Cecil Pinto on this issue, posted on Goanet and published in the Gomantak times - you missed that one too! There was also a report posted by Godfrey Gonsalves on this same issue, which has created waves in Goa! The other South Goa politico, Luizinho Faleiro, I guess was boasting about him being the highest tax payer in Goa. This back fired, as many people, rightly question, how an almost penniless person with little or no educational qualifications and no leg to stand on, ends up becoming crorepati ! To add fuel to the fire; the Godfather (Churchill) states at a public meeting that unlike the crorepati South Goa MLA, he still remains the same!!?? :-) The opposition Man, Parrikar, was quick on the draw, referring to what was stated by Churchill and pointedly stated that there were many Congress Politicians who became crorepatis, through dubious means.

Is this just my perception or is there some reality? .......................... I also noticed the rather LACK OF criticisms about the scandal-trapped / tainted MP from South Goa. I do not know the man, other than perhaps he owns a football club in Vasco. I noticed rather strong posts against much lesser political crimes (often of omission) allegedly committed by local Goan politicians getting a full airing in cyber Goa. > > So where are all the irate posts from cyber Goans but especially from the JOURNALISTS - both male and FEMALE on the tainted Goan MP?
