I found Mario Goveia's personal remarks on Selma Carvalho insensitive. And I think they would divert the attention from her other points.
He seems to imply that the way building permits are issued in Goa are not democratic. What he should say is whether the system of Gram Sabha, where the attendance is only 2% of the eligible membership, more democratic. Best Regards, Dr. U. G. Barad
