My dear Soter, I suggest that ALL the people of Goa take a step back and a deep breath. This includes those who are wary that the ghost of the BJP-past might return to Goa. While it is the "duty" of watch dogs and activists to keep the potentially unlimited power of 'gorrment' in check, too much of confusão right from the start serves nobody well. The BJP has run on its manifesto. The people have voted. It matters little whether it was just an anti-incumbency vote or not. The fact is that when the votes were counted, the BJP won. Now, will there be a run for the 'money generating' cabinet positions e.g. PWD? But of course! A few comments: The 'double speak', ' hossanas' and 'pompo' having been noted, it will be worth watching whether the Hebles, Hazares, Bedis etc will have reason to be active for the next 5 years, and if so, whether they will do so. I leave you with this url from about 17 months ago. There is a saying:What goes around, comes around. The "amdars" will take turns in making their rupees, and the people will continue to offer themselves to be 'pomped' into being ....... http://issuu.com/herald-goa/docs/2_nov [ This link takes you to the front page of the November 2, 2010 herald-goa. It is enlargeable by rolling the mouse. The relevant matter is on the front page. However, should you wish to read the whole issue.....there are arrows which will lead you there. As an aside, the archival and live issues of the 2011 onwards are much better than the pre 2011 ones] jc --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
