Goa's Chief Minister is using the magic word of Development, to support the
builders lobby, against the wishes of the people. It is more of the
development of his builder friends, potential additions to his migrant vote
bank and of course, his personal/political interests. Yes, Goa needs
development but it has to be in line to the interests of Goa and Goans.
There can be fair solutions to develop Goa and preserve our identity and be
part of the Global Community; but unfortunately these politicians will not
try/act; mainly because of the huge illegitimate financial gains, they could
loose and also, they wouldn't want to do anything that could possibly
unease, their supreme masters in New Delhi.
