[B] These dramas are entertainments to otherwise harassed citizens, burden with the weight of price rise and , who can only have the ringside view from outside. The politcal carnaval has just begun. COMMENT: My dear Nelson, 1: A General Comment: Goan Politiks is a continuous carnaval of Alibabas doing all kinds of tamasha et al to achieve the Kodel or the next best thing i.e. an opportunity to make additional poixe. It happens 'soglea sounsarant'. Public is 'bewaqoof', no? It is easy to 'banau' them. Some create 'bandhs', Others bus them in. Some give them 'bhojan', others give them biriyani and 'sorro'. Some will even use children (with due Consent, of course), Others will play Atya-Patya when asked to provide evidence of 'Consent'. Here are some videshi examples of the "consented" participation od children. Sure Sure. http://tinyurl.com/bhurguim1 http://tinyurl.com/bhurguim2 2: Comment: There is NO such thing as 'burnt bridges' in the field of politrix. Post-election, It will be a game of convenient-HopScotch. One jumps to the best position one is allowed to jump into - by the exigencies of the "kodellichi' situation. 'Tuka ek, Maka ek. Lokank mar zok' [ One for you, One for me, the populace can fly a kite]. Of course for the bewaqoof-public consumption, all kind of 'dalali' (horsetrading) will be undertaken for the "love of Goa" and the "need to provide stable gorrment'. Judging by the amount of horse trading that goes on, it is more like 'gorrment in the stable'. 3: Query: What 'criminal charges' are you referring to in # [A] above. I expect politicians to make such uncorroborated charges during election season or from opposition benches. Does Nelson Lopes have reasonable grounds to make that allegation? 4: Conclusion: Identify an honest (verified) Goa elected-politician and I will give up writing anything in cyberspace for a month. As the good old Dotor Kui reportedly said to Bandodkar: Hoh sounsar zala Kui! jc
