------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.casadegoa.org -------------------------------------------------------
C A Bhandare asks me: "I think Sachin found Floriano's statement in bad taste not Aires's. Sachin, please correct me if I am mistaken." To answer it, let me reproduce my message: QUOTE When I said "I think this is in very bad taste", I was referring to the question posed by Floriano to Aries Rodrigues, namely: "How much in Indian Rupees or in US$ have been deposited in your personal bank account by the BJP??" As far as Bosco's valid point about the flip-flop of Aries. I have noticed such flip-flops in politics too many times. For example, Sanjay Nirupam has been campaigning for the Congress Party in Goa. Are we going to forget his background as a very senior Shiv Sean leader, merely because he is now in Congress? The same, of course, can be said about those who have changed sides from a 'secular' Congress to the BJP. I have read in a newspaper item that Dayanand Narvekar, a minister in the present Congress government, is campaigning on behalf of his brother, who is standing as an independent candidate against the official Congress candidate. At least let not the members on this forum make tasteless statements. UNQUOTE Even a cursory look at my message, I gave my opinion on BOTH - Floriano and Aries. So, let me ask Bhandare a question: Do you find Floriano's question in bad taste.
