In 1998, Aires Rodrigues (whom I liked immensely till he became what he is today) suggested in a trans-Atlantic telephone call that I join him and work to elect the BJP in South Goa. I suggested to him then (i.e. 1998) that politicians are users. They are not the type of company educated individuals should keep. I also suggested to Aires that the BJP would use him and dump him - as soon as his usefulness is past. COMMENT: Aires must be related to Willie Mesquitta. These two individuals jump from political pillar to post like grasshoppers. The rest should be self explanatory. jc ps: ordinary Goans will continue to PAY for the foolishness of these politicians.
