"Congress sources said a proposal for merger of Alemao's party into the
Congress is also being discussed...Save Goa Front had two members in the 40
member assembly and Alemao was in the Congress till last year and was an MP
from Goa."
"Minister for Public Works Churchill Alemao, who heads the two-member Save
Goa Front, and unattached United Goan Democratic Party MLA Atanasio
Monserrate rushed to Delhi on Sunday with a proposal to merge their outfits
with the Congress in a bid to scuttle the induction of Mr. Dhavlikar"
"The two MGP MLAs and Independent MLA Anil Salgaoncar, who had aligned with
the Bharatiya Janata Party after Assembly elections last year, also declared
their support for the government."
RESPONSE: Somebody here referred to Goa's MLAs as monkeys. I think the above
demonstrate our MLAs outdo the monkeys - they can swing further, faster and
higher!! Lets not forget the CM, who has had his days playing kabbadi too!!
"The situation prevailing in Goa is worst than Pakistan and I wonder whether
the Congress top leaders Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh and Shivraj Patil are
party to it," Parrikar said.
RESPONSE: So who are the militants? Are we going to have an assassination
too?
Parrikar alleged that the Governor, Chief Minister and Speaker had made a
"mockery of democracy and the constitution" in Goa.
RESPONSE: Tch-tch-tch!! Look who's talking?? Is this not the one who
engineered the last fiasco 7 months ago?? Hallo GBA!!! Halloooooo!!!
Do Goenkars suffer from amnesia en masse?? Or are we just too indifferent to
the malaise of our times??
