1.<none of thepresent-day or past (since 1961) politicians and political parties have orhave had the long term administrative sense by virtue of spelling out'good, transparent and satisfying administrative system that will befollowed once elected to power to give the people the choice between varioussystems to be followed,.. Time has come for the people to demand such a spelt out system from allconcerned ...toperform in the interest of the people and the state...Let the peopleelect[..] those who spell out the most likely 'administrative system' that isdesired for Goa and who will aggressively standby its implementation as theprime responsibility and not play 'scrabble' once elected.>[Floriano Goasuraj]
I endorse this call. I dont see why it should be so difficult to find good leaders for Goa given the success achieved abroad by the likes of Victor Menezes and within India by people like Gen SF Rodrigues. Goa has a small population (but 1.5 million is a vast pool from which to draw 40 top notch MLAs!) and a compact area and is relatively well off. But there are huge challenges in conserving the environment and heritage, and building statewide infrastructure suitable for a 21st century global tourism (and knowledge based employment) destination.
