Dear John Gomes, After watching the actions of our Goa politicians, albeit from afar, I have come to the conclusion that most of them are opportunists who vie for office not to selflessly serve the general populace of our tiny state , but to serve a narrow group........maybe the mining magnates or the directives of the RSS ( who are the mentors of the BJP) ........or maybe some personal ambition or to find a chance to enrich themselves by extracting money from those folk who need their help in real estate/family property/ business deals...........note their close collaboration with the out-of -state real estate developers. The former PWD minister Churchill Alemao who won tremendous favour with the common folk in solving water delivery problems etc; is now under investigation for alleged acceptance of bribes together wtih his CM of those days ( D.Kamat) from a foreign concern that was to set up a water-related project Can you imagine the chief executive of a State under such a cloud. However in the constant culture of corruption which is standard operating procedure in the body politic of India...........such behaviour is tolerated as acceptable by Indian standards. Can you trust their party manifestos or campaign promises in their path to public office ? -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 12/29/15, John Eric Gomes <[email protected]> wrote:

The cabinet in Goa has already redefined a tree and so our coconut trees have lost their status. Banana trees have no branches. So they are also not trees or some other exception permits them to be trees?Now old customs like bull fights promised without any cruelty to Bulls as per Supreme Court orders! Ordinance I understand will be issued to bring acche din for some. What about old traditions and customs like Sati etc.How far back do we go to get one big hindu nation including Pakistan,Bangladesh and Afghanistan which originally had our pure customs. Expect a lot of more Bull! The executive makes laws, courts will find it harder and harder not to implement those laws and come into conflict with the legislature. The man made Delhi pollution and Madras floods are not enough for business as usual to continue and that too with more vigor!
