Since the Convenor himself never tires of telling us (Goan people) "you are the GBA," one would presume that the "we" get to decide who is the Convenor. In reality, the Convenor was installed. I had no issue with it until I later discovered what a rotten deal Goans had gotten into. >#2) Do the members of the GBA executive support Dr Rebello? I don't know. All I know is many key GBA members express serious reservations after seeing through Dr Rebello's bogus claims about being an apolitical man while playing footsie with the Digambar Kamat govt, after his silly pronouncements about there being no non-Goans etc. Most will be loathe to say it aloud - one Core Group member has already gone public here on Goanet. >#3) What is it that we want from Dr Rebello? I can't speak for "we." What I would like is for him to step down and allow some genuinely dedicated worker to take over. Alternatively, he can stay as Convenor and take a mouna vrata to minimize damage. >#4) The GBA were formed in the aftermath of the RP2011 being bulldozed on >Goans. Did Dr Rebello and the GBA arrest the implementation of the RP2011? The GBA marshaled the Goan people to arrest RP2011. For that the GBA deserves lusty applause from everyone. Dr Rebello was only the public face of the campaign who got all the credit while the nameless, faceless foot soldiers busted their behinds doing all the spadework. You may say that a campaign needs an identifiable name and face. True, but that name and face must have done something to earn that honour. To date, Dr Rebello's 'work' has included only such back-breaking tasks as attending meetings, signing press releases, going on TV, and making speeches. >#5) Why are we expecting Dr Rebello and the GBA to fight every environmental >violation? In fact, "we" would have been thrilled if he had actually fought ANY ONE battle, let alone the war. >Over a dozen other organizations support GBA. And your point is?
