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.

Miguel
