------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html -------------------------------------------------------
Dears, It seems like yesterday once more. The Congress lost a chance to form a single party Government in Goa during 2002 because it gave tickets to the old, discredited MLAs and Ministers. It learnt nothing. The same story continues. In addition, a party that talks about Women's Reservation Bill and empowerment of the Scheduled Tribes gives them lip service, but nothing substantial. I do not know if it is better to use Fr. Conceicao to wash away the sins of omission or it would be better if the Congress conceives something more appropriate. Monica Dias and others have as good a chance of upsetting the applecart as Churchill Alemao or Babush Monserrate. The Ranes will romp home...and perhaps make common cause with Manohar Parrikar as was done in 2000 in exchange for the Speakership and Kala Academy posts for the father and GTDC for the son, with Sanjay School and Bal bhavan for the madam as a jewel in the crown. Where it leaves our Cristao brothers like Luizinho, Mauvin and Sardinha, I do not know. Perhaps their favourite clergy man can obtain then some Plenary Indulgence in the 'Limbo' of politicians called 'Opposition Benches" or the Hell of ex-MLAship. Viva Goa.
