First of all let me say Sir, I am you well wisher and my personal opinion is; You must contest the by-election for the Panaji Assembly Constituency, if not for yourself but at least for the love of our beloved Goa and its people.
I understand the task ahead could be daunting and a challenging one, especially your distractors and oppositions not in favor for reasons best known to them only. But, honestly you could be the right man, as they say; "Cometh the hour Cometh the Man". Today, people need an upright and honest man responsible to carry out duties entrusted without favour and with fervor to uphold the law, justice and civic duties both in public and in private with morals and true conscience as their guiding force serve the cause and welfare of the people in true light with dignity as lawfully appointed servants and not kings. Definitely, you would triumph over others because of your practical knowledge in law, politics as well in civic matters do well in getting riddance of ever rampant corruption, nepotism both within and outside marauders and with exodus of people flocking to Goa for their own gains and motives that could slowly, gradually but surely sink Goa to a point of no return but in shambles and ruins forever. Somewhere, one needs to put its Best Foot Forward and this could be the right beginning to move ahead...in the right direction...venture into the unknown Less one day our beloved Goa is sunk to a point of no-return. May God be your Guiding light and above all a fearless crusader if you select the path to lead others in the right direction..
