Convenor of Goa Bachao Abhiyan (GBA) Dr Oscar Rebello has been nominated for CNN-IBN's Indian of the Year Award 2007 in public service category Vote for him at: http://www.cnnibnindianoftheyear.com/publicservice_voting_new.php --------------------------------------------------------------------------- His Excellency The Governor of Goa is proving to be a white elephant on Goa Exchaquer. Recently Mr. Parrikar has said "Mr. S.C.Jamir is spending around Rs three to four crore annually just on his visits to Delhi and Nagaland to indulge in the politics. He is using Goa Government funds to play his politics in Nagaland since all his bill are paid by Goa state Government," He is provided with Z-plus category security which has 280 people guarding him at Raj Bhavan in Goa. "Governor would not require such a huge security, if he stops indulging in Nagaland politics," making him the only Governor to enjoy the highest security cover. Secondly he was supposed to be neutral, apolitical but he has already shown his characteristics by taking decisions on various occasions in a biased way that he is only an agent of Congress party and a stooge of central home ministry. He has played an important role in dismissing the Democtatic Alliance of Nagaland Government of which BJP was a partner , and imposing President's rule there. Vinay
