according to this article dated sunday 11th december, Proff Edgar
rebello has stated that he wants the RP2021 to be rectified and NOT
scrapped. that goes against his stance that was projected by the VGG
that he wanted it de-notified. perhaps this has come after he has got a
better understanding of the laws at hand?
I think that this is something that the VGG needs to revisit, and check
if their demand of denotifing the plan is realistic. on sensitive and
Goa centric matter like this, a second opinion *from someone outside the
VGG* and not a part of the agitation on hand is needed before a clear
bias might be implied, and finger pointing starts.

LOOK CLOSELY WHO BASHES THE REGIONAL PLAN ?
Editor and chief story teller of the Herald, Sujay Gupta is at great
pains to explain the "Bottom-up" participatory process in his sunday
center-spread, leveraging his position to bring down the Regional Plan
2021. A man who has represented "Top-down" tyranny as a stooge of the
Timblos during the agitation against their Colamb mine - *setting the
police on the villagers and filing cases against activist Seby in far
flung Calcutta ?* a man who vehemently defended his masters during the
*infamous Ordinance* that sought to give favours to the Cidade Goa
against a Supreme Court ruling deeming their structure to be illegal and
on public land. This man today preaches participatory process and seeks
every day to highlight disparaging untruths and rhetoric in his
newspaper. Or is he doing his masters bidding as a mercenary, because
the anti-mining stance in the policy document of the RP2021?
Soter, chief saboteur and rhetoric artist ? not going beyond words like
"Builders Plan" and "Dump", where was this man when so many attempts
were made over the last 4 years to actually work out the real issue of
participation through inclusion of the 73rd & 74th Amendment to the TCP Act?
The head of the most rabid village groups, Franky, is a builder himself.
Let us not forget that the 60FAR that this Plan has introduced towards a
less dense Goa, has hurt many builders and buyers in the market place,
just ask your brokers for the real picture. He also has nothing much
more to say beyond ?Scrap? and ?Threat to Goa?.
*And what about their figurehead, Edgar Ribeiro? The savior and good
soul, who actually assisted the Government as Chief Advisor in planning
in the promulgation of the most draconian Amendment to the TCP Act,
16/16A, that allows people and the Regional Plan to be bypassed for
projects in the guise of PPP. The same man is talking participatory today.*
This cacophony should be exposed for what it is "phony", getting the
innocent to believe their troubles to be over if the Regional Plan is
scrapped. Its been done 5 years ago when there was no chance for change,
when GBA led a movement to scrap the RP2011.
?
*It may seem fashion to do again for those with no imagination, vested
interests and clear political ambitions.* Evidence is enough in the
sheer volume of submissions for "Corrections" to the TCP office in self
interest. The key difference between RP2011 and the current RP2021 is
that there is still scope for change.
?
To rally against something without reading details, without even
attempting the channels provided for change smells of RAT. We have seen
Mullahs issue fatwas without reading content, we have seen all manner of
corrupt spiritual leaders and politicians twist facts and hide under
rhetoric for their own ends, and lead us into the dark ages without reason.
?
The current Regional Plan bashing is too early for its time, and is
wrong, steering us away from real devils.
?
*The greedy shout the loudest, the wolves drown reason with their
howling. Do your homework, and be careful whom you trust before the
elections is all I can say*.
