Come on Selma.
It's Eugene Correia, not Monteiro.
Your assessment is correct. Too many good cooks spoiled the soup for the
Alemaos.
As far as Goa having GR8 leaders is concerned, every second person in Goa
is a leader :-)
But what Goa badly needs is a 'SYSTEMIC LEADER' to walk the talk of Good
Governance with spelled out moves and procedures that will not lead to chaos
and infights for the spoils of war after the WIN.
And if you again believe that this is not available too, then all you have
to do is hit www.goasu-raj.org to see it rolling upwards in front of your
eyes.

PS: I was at the Calvin Ferry point during the great tragedy recently were
the bus rolled into the waters which in itself is a great mystery with
terrible loss of life of young kids among adults. And people of Calvim seem
to have been gunning for just one head. 'NARVEKAR'S' from that day on.
Against all odds, I campaigned into Calvim along with Julius Pereira
(candidate)extensively, going door to door, commisserating with the
bereaved families and telling them that the cover-up of the incident should
not be permitted at all costs and if need be we were willing to lead a
delegation to the Police Station (Mapusa/Panjim) to demand thorough
investigation into the incident.
I have just got the booth voting results/pattern of 10-Aldona Constituency:
Booth No. 41: St Domnic Savio Sports Club, Calvim:
Dayanand Narvekar-INC: 199
Glen Ticlo-BJP: 143
Julius Pereira-GSRP: 0
Wilfred D'Souza-TMC: 20
Ravindra V. Panjikar-Ind: 3
Lesson: People vote for Leaders, not foot-soldiers of LEADERS.
Cheers again.

Subject: [Goanet] Anatomy of the Alemaos
RESPONSE:
There is no great "backlash" against the Alemaos.
In Cuncolim, John Monteiro (Independent) fractured the vote, otherwise he
had a clear win. In Sanguem, Prasad Goankar fractured the NCP-Congress
base or he had a clear win there.In Benaulim, Vikas party voters are all
former Congress voters and so are Hubert Gomes' voters. If it wasn't for
Hubert, Valanka would have had a win. Goa Vikas party has done the
greatest damage to the Congress. Vikas is the brainchild of Micky -Micky's
voters are all recovering Congress voters. Micky has no greater agenda or
ideology than the Alemaos.
Goa is an extremely small state. A matter of 2000 votes can make the
difference between a win and a lose.
The only thing you can discern for certain in this election is that the
Catholic population of Goa is in disarray without any clear political
leadership. They are hopping mad and they were out for blood - not
particularly Alemao blood but Congress blood. In the end, that is how
peaceful revolutions come about. But like every revolution, there must be
great leaders waiting in the wings to take over, otherwise the Alemaos can
regroup within 2 years and re-emerge like a nightmarish severed head.
Does Goa have great leaders in the wings waiting to take over? Because I'm
a Goan, I hope so.
Best,
Selma
