No-Confidence motions are moved so Panchas can mint money. Every time there is a No-Confidence motion, each Pancha demands between Rs.1,00,000-2,00,000 (depending on the village) to support the motion or oppose it. Due to the above, some Panchayats have come up with a novel idea i.e., to share the 5-year term among all elected members, of course, for their own benefit. The first year is shared by a group of people. At the end of the year, another Sarpanch, Deputy Sarpanch and Panchas are put in place. At the end of the third year, another new Sarpanch, Deputy Sarpanch from the lot takes over along with a new set of Panchas. Thus, every one of the elected members gets to rule and loot! http://www.goanet.org/post.php?name=News&list=goanet&info=2010-April&post_id=192543 Moi-mogan, Domnic Fernandes Anjuna, Goa Mob: 9420979201 _________________________________________________________________ Climate, controversies and the changing signatures of nature http://green.in.msn.com/
