Rajan bab had got angry with me because I said that GBA is good. Now he is doing another group called GPA. GBA - GPA. It cannot be just like that. I am going to come and see which activists are going to come to do air conditioned activism in Hotel Mandovi Hall. Maybe Nova Goa was not available. Anyway it is good if this GPA will first look at the illegal construction of the Convention Hall of Mandovi, and then they will look at Conversion of riverfront space meant for sitting for old and young people into Riveiara Event Deck. And last there is mining by the Kenis. We Goans will not be cheated like this by politicians. This GPA will be another Lok Shakti. Only sad thing is good people like Rajan are wasting their time and money on them. Dr Rajan will be another Dr Francis Colaco. Good man in wrong place. Satyamev Jayate
