Dear Selma, If my memory serves me right, Salcete did elect a BJP - a few years ago - before the Modi and co came on the scene.
It is my belief that IF the BJP had kept Modi away from Goa, it would have still won the North Goa Seat, and stood a good chance of giving the Congress a good fight in the South - esp as Matanhy was there to divide the Sashti votes. Additionally - Vajpayee was and still is a different person that Advani. At least ...so sayeth the masses of India. All I can say is .... I hope the Congress learns from the criticism and does better than last time. And yes ....nice to see that the Commies got 'sorted out' .......and sent to the corner to 'Go behave themselves". jc == Selma Carvalho wrote: Joe-bab, hell will freeze over before South Goans elect BJP. proud shastikaan, selma
