Re: [Goanet] multiplicity of parties

[Floriano Lobo]

As the General Secretary of the Goa Su-Raj Party [ prominent Goans like the
writer above have not understood the difference between Su-Raj and Suraj.
We are tired explaining that whereas Suraj means the 'Sun', Su-Raj means
'Good Governance'] That aside, the question we ask is ' WHO IS GOING TO
 SPLIT THE VOTES'?.  Like one cannot ask all the Onion sellers/vendors in
the market to sell onions as one, political parties cannot come together
with their differing intrinsic agendas. In a democracy every one has a
right to display his/her strong points. How does one get all the diverse
agendas together? In Bihar Nitish Kumar joined hand with his long time foe
Lalu Yadav to beat the BJP. But in the bargain he has cut his own legs. How
can he justify what is happening in Bihar? and at what cost? . Can this
artificially glued mahagadbandhan keep the BJP out for long? The same
question goes for Goa. Can any aligned coalition work in such a way that it
will keep the BJP or the Congress  away for long? Artificial stitching of a
suit? It never works. If Goa's serious voters are interested not to  split
their votes to benefit the BJP (which will happen if they follow the
conventional voting pattern i.e. I shall always vote for my party], then
they should understand that they must know what they are voting for. If
they are voting because the candidate or the party maestro has helped them
before, then we don't want to say anything. But if the voters will want to
vote for themselves ( not for illegal favours) and for the future of their
children, then they must take interest in finding out who has the right
recipe and go vote for it. (the recipe).

Re: [Goanet] Open Letter to Arvind Kejriwal - COMMENTS

[Floriano Lobo]

Dear Eugene,

It is natural for a party like GSRP to have a support base from Goans. But
when you have supporters, how is it possible for the party to control the
side effects when these side effects crop up because criticism of their
favourite party are not in good taste?

When criticism comes in, it  must not be on hearsay  or without a solution.

GSRP requires promotion and not grounding criticisms. You are probably
feeling that heat because maybe you have been critical about GSRP, and I
know you have been, because you have not understood this party. I'll make
it clear to you Eugene. GSRP has not come in to sit idle and twiddlel its
thumbs. We at GSRP know whet we are doing. Its time has not been ripe. When
that stage comes, it will do what has to be done by any political party.
Thank you for this post. I am sorry to say that GSRP cannot put its
supporters on the leash.

Re: [Goanet] The Odd, The Strange and The Ugly

[Roland]

The "bizarre" incidents I collected in that post were by no means headlines, 
front page or breaking news. They were just sidelined pieces, humorous to me 
which is why I thought them repetition-worthy. 

Before laying the blame at the door of western media your favourite whipping 
child, note that two of the four items were from The Deccan Herald of South 
India and one of the other two (the snake bite) was from the BBC World News 
website. 

Surely the BBC is not yet declining in readership or listeners enough to fit 
your 'declining western media' profile.

Not every arrow carries a poison tip. Some are just dipped in a little 
lightheadedness.

Besides, if the books published by your Goa 1556 were about perfectly normal 
people leading perfectly normal lives, very few would read them, let alone buy 
them, right?

Regards.

FN,
Now you should be able to understand perfectly why Trump is so popular in
the US.

Some voters prefer a person of circus over a person of substance.

[Goanet] THE NAMING GAME

[John Gomes]

NAMING ROADS/BUILDINGS AND ON FOUNDATION STONESPeople like to see their names 
etched in stone for posterity, and egos of Politicians enable this easily. When 
new parties/ politicians come to power, they tend to put their own heroes and 
remove the villain's names hogging the limelight from the previous party 
machinations! The policy of who is worthy is debatable. Rishi Kapoor thinks it 
should be those who have contributed to the state/nation like for example his 
grandfather who was a pioneer and great film actor etc. Others will disagree 
who was first or greater. This being subjective and a mugs game of renaming 
roads and so on, it would be a wise government which legislates a policy of 
naming generally as per the geographical, actual use which is indisputable viz 
Racecourse Road, Mumbai International Airport, Zuari Bridge, Porvorim Cricket 
Stadium, 34th Avenue etc. There is also no need of inauguration of hot mixing a 
road and routine jobs which are funded by government and credit should go to 
the government department for job done well or when due. And if not done well, 
or in time, the Minister/MLA concerned should inaugurate an inquiry and take 
exemplary action to recover loss and ensure accountability!
