The war between the activists and the proponents of changes to the Town and Country Act has begun and needs to be sorted out in a democratic way.
Not something resembling a bulldozer operation at a time when the tourism season has just begun: we do not want to scare off the tourists at the start of the season, do we? As you all know Goa is the drug and operation capital of the country with a lot of crime and murders too. Not at all a welcome poster for the state. Nowadays the biggest sport in Goa is not soccer but Jumping Frog with MLAs crossing the floor of our Legislative Assembly as if it is an established dance similar to jive or chi cha. No this dance is much more shocking than the entertainment provided by the sleaziest spots in town. Disgusting! The discussion has to be held in the open for all to see as it appears to be coming from the brains of a few people. The Regional Plan was a a long and hotly discussed potato, and for this reason we cannot take the changes to TCP Act lightly. The people of Goa will not take things sitting down especially after our MLAs have stood up and walked across the Assembly floor fully exposed. They have so far not slipped on any banana skins but the dance has not ended. Not yet. And please remember how we can see on a clear day forever. No pollution, please.
