When I first spoke out on Goanet of the games played by the GBA leaders, it was met with shock in some quarters. After all, the lead man had positioned himself as the prince of Goa, the blue-eyed knight riding in to clean the Augean stables. Like most Goans, I stood behind him and GBA on Dec 18, 2006 at Azad Maidan. I believed then that these were men and women driven by purpose. Alas, it soon became clear that these GBA leaders were rotten fellows out to either aggrandize themselves or in it for personal gain. I needed no special insight to figure this out. All I had to do was keep my eyes open. Soon the blue-eyed wonder himself doodled praises for Digu in Gomantak Times (if I had not made an issue of it, it may well have passed unnoticed). I couldn't believe it - here I had with me all the evidence (collected through RTI on personal time and nickel - a job the GBA should have been doing) that pointed to exactly the opposite - that Digu and his cohorts were taking Goa to the cleaners, and the man charged with holding the govt's feet to the fire was singing bhajans in honour of the govt! It just didn't compute. I could understand the surprise of those Goans not in Goa when I first fingered the GBA. After all, they had been lead to believe all kinds of wonderful thinks about the accomplishments the GBA was said to have chalked up. But what about the fellows in Goa itself? Those loud impotent sycophants who continued to carry water for the GBA and its ex-convener? Now they want to change sides. Sorry, berther, no dice. You have ZERO cred. These rascals have finally been shown for what they really are. But we told you so many moons ago! The bigger tragedy is that Goa has lost valuable time. Let us once and for all get this right: thank you GBA for NOTHING. You got that? The GBA was one loud stinking flatulent joke on Goa and Goans. Regards, r
