Comment: How will this ever happen? MP and BJP need to win the trust of the minorities. The ideology of the BJP deters even the most well disposed person. It is akin to committting harakiri.MP cannot have the cake and eat it too.The BJP will only get aya rams and gaya rams like Dr Wilfred Mesquita or Babush'. Dr Anand wrote: Only a long term ,stable, responsible and competent government which looks after the interests of all communities in Goa can prevent this wonderful land of ours from going down the drain. Comment: I am in total agreement. The need of the hour is to have a regional party which is totally committed to the future and well being of Goa and Goans.Any national party will be subject to the infuence and interference from the headquarters. This is happening all over India. Look at UP, Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Bihar, North East. Dr Anand wrote: The current Congress government is the most irresponsible and incompetent government to have ever ruled Goa. Their twin policies of uncontrolled corruption and minority communalism / vote bank politics are creating a ticking time bomb in Goa. Comment: Please point out instances of minority communalism / vote bank politics.
I would be happy to support MP or any other person who can pull out Goa from its present quagmire and restore it to its pristine glory but the million dollar question is we need to be convinced that he is the right person. Regards, Marshall Mendonza
