>Samir, >Your attacks on Rajan are getting a bit tiring now.
Take a good break, refresh yourself and be prepared for more. Let me tell you you have seen nothing yet. There is more to come. > Couple of days ago, I saw our PM promising votes for NRIs. I am sure this will include PIO as well >as OCI holders. Why just include only the OCI holders, why not include the whole world ? If you dont know elementary things about a citizenship , you should not comment on such matters. Btw, what passport/citizenship do you hold ? >However, once they have voting rights, I am sure people of your ilk will find some other reason to object to any good work that people >like Rajan do. The only way opportunists like Rajan will gain respect is if they have the guts to take Indian citizenship. Why, Indian citizenship is no good for Rajan ? The white man's boots look better is it ? >I was in Goa couple of weeks ago. I saw examples of two types of Goans: one >I would admire, the other, equally goan, that I detest. >The decision of the high court in Rajan Parrikar's PIL was reported in a non-goan newspaper, Tarun Bharat. No Goan paper thought the news was worth reporting. For the first in the short history of Goa, a municipality has been forced to form a panel responsible for keeping the city clean and the contact details of this panel will have to be publicised so that people can complain if the cleanliness is not maintained. A small blow to the might of the establishment by a focused, intelligent brave Goan who was prepared to painstakingly gather evidence of dirt around Panaji and present it to the courts. What the residents of Panaji and the council will do in future is upto them but someone put his time and effort as well as money where his mouth is and did something good to improve the quality of life of a few >Goans. Good for him. >The other news I read was that Digambar Kamat, the one time leader in waiting of the saffron brigade and now the Kangress CM has been appointed as patron saint (or some such grandiose title) of an organisation called MARG. This is apparently an NGO/CSO. This organisation has been run by a Kelekar. Any relation? Any idea how much money this organisation takes from the govt >coffers and how much of it goes to the concerned Kelekar? You can contact marg at [email protected] and ask the relevant questions. You will get the answers. MARG is a public and transparent organization as far as I know. >Is it this financial relationship with Digambar that makes Rajan a thorn in >your side? If so, Goanetters should know. Rajan, the American boot licker, thorn on my side ? Give me a break man and talk sense. Let me tell you I have no financial relationship with MARG and have been a beneficiary of not a single paisa. On the other hand, I spend my own hard earned money to attend interesting functions that MARG holds. Now tell me what do you do there sitting in UK except perhaps increase your bank balance ? Why did you vamoos from Goa? The public would like to know. >So, on the one hand, we have Rajan who is prepared to work selflessly for Goa while we have some niz goenkars on the gravy train. I know which type of >Goans I would lend my support to. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. It is very clear that Rajan has adopted a hit and run technique, something which is very easy to do when someone is an American citizen. Any trouble in Goa and Rajan will not be seen around -- that is Rajan's plan. A PIL here or there does not count. We have to see what happens when this bloke comes in a bit of limelight (of course, other than abuse coming from his mouth) and really becomes a nuisance or a threat to the government. As of now, everything indicates that the bloke is going to scoot to America when the going gets tough. samir >Anil Desai
