[Goanet] R.I.P. Con Menezes

[Floriano Lobo]

Linda, Cynthia and  goanetters at large.

Con Menezes was a regular fixture on goanet and his inputs were much
appreciated. He kept the listers happy with his choice of music, mostly
oldies as well as the happenings the world over. I remember having read Con
Menezes ever since I joined goanet circa 2008.

Sad to hear of his passing away. We must all go someday but Con Menezes, a
dedicated goanetter we shall miss for a long time.

Condolences and heartfelt sympathies to his dear friends and family members
from our end.
Con Menezes R.I.P.

[Goanet] Comment on O Heraldo editorial "When Government fails... this is what happens"

[Floriano Lobo]

‘When Government fails, this is what happens’
 Editorial - O Heraldo – 14 Aug. 2018

Comments

To start with, we would like to correct the above caption to ‘ WHEN
GOVERNMENTS FAIL, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS’.  As rightly mentioned in the above
editorial, successive governments have failed Goa and Goans since 1963.

GSRP came into being  in the year 2000 through 11 , all Goa deliberations
and debates, starting at the International Centre – Dona Paula, and ending
at Caritas- Goa, Panjim.  The motivating factor was  “to what extent
*‘self-sacrifice’* must be the necessary ingredient in any political reform
centered around bringing  a drastic change the way Goa is governed”.

The result was a draft constitution of a probable political party that
contained  three, most rare and feet-cutting provisions that would
ordinarily spell the doom of this exercise, [and after 18 years, this has
come to pass]  namely *Art. 34* [Only 5 member Cabinet including the CM], *Art.
38* [No office of profit to the elected people’s representatives], i.e.
chairmenships of govt. corporations and institutions and *Art. 40* [Recall
] where the constituents could pass a no-confidence motion on its MLA and
have him/her recalled].  To cap it up, *Art 41* was provided where there
could be no amendments to the above trio whatsoever along with a slew of
other provisions vital to the body of the constitution, as long as the
named entity remained afloat.

Subsequent to the year 2000, in 2005, GSRP published its ROAD MAP FOR GOA,
a document of a lifetime, which sought to correct the major mistakes in
Goa’s governance and provide a way for a probable flawless administration,
backed by the people of Goa, which would remove the anxiety of the people
of Goa as to how the elected representatives would bring in the change in
Governance.  All that was necessary was to have a handful of Goans who
would stand for it and promote it.

It is sad to admit that, in spite of the people of Goa looking up for a
dispensation that would govern Goa to the standard of governance that Goa
was governed prior to the ‘ so called’  liberation in 1961,  there were no
takers.  After 18  years of remaining afloat, GSRP has to take a back seat,
because it is apparent that MONEY,  loads of it, is required to promote
such a gospel to the level of acceptance, which concept GSRP stubbornly
refused and refuse,  paving the way for it to be called having the
mentality of the HINDUTVA. In other words, it was expected that GSRP will
take U-Turns after U-Turns in order to promote itself.  If GSRP has to be
classified as having the mentality of HINDUTVA, so be it. But it will
remain what it was built for and die as such. If people require ‘money’ to
cast their ‘vote’ to bring about a change in their own favour, then let it
be for the Congress, the BJP and the umpteen number of dispensations that
are struggling to race-up to the top. But it will not be GSRP.

The editor of O Heraldo, Mr. Sujay Gupta had taken an onerous initiative to
coin up a dispensation that would be projected in front of the people of
Goa on a massive scale for the  2017 electoral race. And at its first
deliberation which was participated by most of the politically conscious
elite of Goa,  dreaming of a fruitful change, Oscar Rebello had made a
statement  QUOTE GSRP has a beautiful Road Map for Goa. But it needs to be
taken forward UNQUOTE. It is , in deed, perplexing to come to the
understanding as to ‘who’ or ‘how’ the GSRP’s Road Map for Goa will be
taken forward when Goans  want to stand on borrowed legs. Needless to say
that Mr. Sujay Gupta’s initiative came up with the roadblock after the very
first session.

If Goa’s politics does not incorporate heavy but really heavy
‘self-sacrifices’ on the part of Goa’s political promoters,  all this
social activism, agitations and court cases will never end, nor will help
to change the governance for  the better, because,  there is not an iota of
‘unity in selflessness’ in what is happening. And the end result is going
to be the grand burial of the GOA that we Goans dreamt of as the Pearl of
the East.



 In finality, Goans have just one choice. To read and to sign  the online
Change.org Free Goa Petition to the United Nations  in numbers, so that the
powers that be  may deem it fit to look at it favourably, to correct the
injustices that have been allowed to happen towards Goa during its
deliberations in 1961 and which injustices are allowed to be perpetrated to
this day.

It is a very good move to include Opinion Poll chapters as syllabus for our

to immediately introduce an exhaustive crash course to enlighten and
educate all the 40 MLAs about Goa’s factual history. This orientation could
even be conducted by the very vocal, articulate and extremely knowledgeable

[Goanet] Fwd: Goa Statehood in Legal Trouble

[Floriano Lobo]

Subject: Goa Statehood in Legal Trouble
To: "Atanasio Lobo" <atanasiofl...@gmail.com>
Cc: "Floriano Lobo" <floriano.l...@gmail.com>

In the matter of Mhadei water dispute, Karnataka Bar Association has taken
a stand that Goa cannot be accepted as a "State ". Without prejudice to
Goa's claim of water, legal arguments need attention.

1. Goa did not follow the necessary requirements for granting statehood.
2. Number of MLAs in Goa is less than  60 & each assembly constituency has
less than needed average voters.
3. States are created under article 170 of the Constitution.  Goa did not
fit in that criteria.
4. Goa has 40  MLA s. Each constituency must have minimum 2 lakh & Maximum
5  lakh voters. Karnataka has more than 2 lakh voters each. Maharashtra,
UP, Gujarat, TN each have near to 5 lakh voters.
5. Creation of Goa state is against Constitution of India
6. Therefore, any political or judicial dispute with Goa is against
Constitution of India.

Re: [Goanet] Goa rivers declaration as National Waterways like Goa Liberation?

Very well done, in deed.
However, concerned Goans must not chicken out from signing this petition as
the Indian Parliament will have nothing to do with Goa matters, less Goa's
rivers.

*DELHI  PRINCIPAL HEALTH SECY TURNS APPROVER  IN GOA MINING CASE.*
By Prakash Kamat – The Hindu


http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/delhi-principal-health-secy-turns-approver-in-goa-mining-case/article20547529.ece




COMMENTS:


Time and again this  party has demanded that the then mines minister Mr.
Digamber Kamat be tried for signing the condonation of delay of mining
lease when  he had no power to sign the same. This is established in the
Shah Commission Report under “ INTENTIONAL MISUSE OF RULE 24A of the MCR,
1960 by the concerned authorities.


Mr. Raajiv Yaduvanshi is known to be a straight officer as we have had
interaction with him. Hopefully, his  recorded statements will seal the
fate of Mr. Digamber Kamat and we shall be happy to see him in jail for
once.

[Goanet] Towards protecting Goa's insterests first

[Floriano Lobo]

Goans who are asking CM Manohar Parrikar to protect Goa's interest first
must know that he has occupied the CM's chair illegally paying Digvijay
Singh of Congress and Vijay Sardesai of Goa Backwards hundreds of crores
from Adani Ambani Jindal n GMR to push their programs which would be
perhaps otherwise blocked by the Congress which won 17 seats against 13 of
the BJP in elections 2017. Goans had voted for Congress against the BJP in
the hope that it had learnt its lesson from the  crippling defeat in 2012
elections. The defeat of Goans was to trust Goa Backwards not knowing it
would be the Judas for Goa. Hope better sense prevails in the next voting.

Sardesai as very corrupt and a mega dalal, the very same Manohar
Gopalkrishna Parrikar for sheer political survival hugged the same Dalal
and had the brazen audacity of rewarding the very same Vijai Sardesai with
the prized plumb and very lucrative portfolio of Town & Country Planning.

The now senile Manohar Parrikar may have surrendered all his earlier values
and principles if any, but the people of Goa will never forgive him and his
new found dracula cum supari master Vijai Sardesai who is now all out to
bid farewell to Goa's few remaining hills and fields.

The curses of the people of Goa and the shock treatment by the Almighty
awaits Manohar Parrikar and Vijai Sardesai.

[Goanet] Fwd: WSL workers demand CM's imtervention

Sir,
If there is a possibility of oil spill from the tilted dry-dock, that vasts
areas of the sea n river coast could be affected, then it is incumpumbent
on GSPCB to cordon off the floating drydock with float barrier to contain
such an oil spill so that it may be cleaned through spray coagulants and
mopping up with tissue paper. Ironically, Goa is a sitting duck for any
major oil spills with no disaster management in place.

[Goanet] Graft bomb on Arvind Kejriwal - Comments

[Floriano Lobo]

at
bureaucrats are persons whose backbones are broken to the extent that they
can never stand up to say ‘NO’ when it comes to the demands by the
 political masters. In this case, Goans knew that with the Master in Delhi
and his puppet in Goa,  ‘Dilli Raj’ would again take hold with the puppet
in Goa dancing to the Master’s tunes. Besides, there was not a whisper on
MOPA and Mining Cap was to be increased instead of it being reduced. Also,
manifestos are made by the institution called the Political Party to
correct the wrongs as according to its political ideology and not through
knocking at the doors of the voters to ask them what they want. For the
past 55 years, Goans, at election times  heard how the political parties
wanted to move vis a vis the crippling issues and silently voted
accordingly as to what was best for them and their Goa. But here was a
novel political party which asked the voters what they wanted and what they
did not want to be included in the Party’s manifesto. This was the cardinal
mistake which invited its  total wipe-out.



On 11th. March, Kejriwal’s Humpty Dumpty in Goa had such a great fall that
he himself would never have dreamt of. If we know GOANS,  It is unlikely
that his Goa Humpty Dumpty can be put together ever again no matter how
many King’s horses and how many King’s men try to seat him back on the
throne.

[Goanet] GOA ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION GROUP - GEAG WRITES TO THE HC CONSTITUTED COMMITTEE OVERSEEING LOUD MUSIC NOISE POLLUTION IN THE STATE.

[Floriano Lobo]

dium and
higher music frequencies which are lost in the air, are arrested and
absorbed, reducing their long reaching impact. An example of the ‘Bass’
travelling as a ground wave is an approaching car playing very loud music.
One hears the Bass much before the car is in the vicinity but none other
components of the music are heard as these are lost in the air, travelling
upwards. The source of disturbance to distant individuals is the Bass.



6.*Beach Shacks*: These have become a perennial source of loud music
noise pollution nuisance on the Goan beaches which disturb the peace and
tranquility of the neighbourhood. Those who visit the beaches do so to
relax and enjoy the sea. The cacophony created by closely placed shacks
creates more of a nuisance than anything else. Therefore, as a policy, the
beach shacks should be permitted to use music for listening pleasure only
which does not cross 50 Watts of music power. This suggestion has been made
to this committee a long time ago and is yet to be implemented.



7.In short, the versatile Government Policy on loud music noise
pollution must be such that everyone who wants to enjoy loud music and
everyone who wants to obtain commercial benefits from playing loud music
should be free to do so, especially, since Goa is a music loving State.
However, this should be so that those who want to enjoy the peace and quiet
after 10.00 p.m. or those who need to study or relax in peace even during
day time hours should also be allowed to do so.



8.Shall highly appreciate if this communication is acknowledged.



9.We are attaching a copy of a letter from one of the distraught
citizens, Ms. Ophelia D’Sa, from our village, Moira,  which is
self-explanatory. We shall be obliged if this issue is discussed in this
meeting. This is the case of Mr. Tarun Tejpal’s residence in Attafondem
Ward of Moira. This residential house is leased to holiday makers to
conduct parties at an exorbitant rate. The end result is that the
neighbourhood is acutely disturbed. We have no problem if Mr. Tarun Tejpal
hires out his residence to high paying holiday makers and makes money over
it. But let him install sufficient sound proofing within his venue so that
the neighbourhood is not disturbed on continuous basis. GEAG objects to
this. If this issue is not resolved, GEAG shall approach the High Court of
Bombay at Goa with an appropriate PIL.



Thanking you,



Yours faithfully,

Re: [Goanet] regional and National parties

[Floriano Lobo]

If the country is to be strong, the place to start is the lowly ward of a
Village.
If the Wards are strong, the Village becomes strong. If the Villages are
strong, the Constituency becomes strong. If the Constituencies become
strong, the State becomes strong. And if the States become strong, the
Country cannot help but be strong.

In this perspective, the National Parties are destroying the WARD. And if
this continues much longer, the Country is bound to go to DOGS.

[Goanet] OPEN LETTER TO CHIEF MINISTER OF GOA MR. LAXMIKANT PARSEKAR

[Floriano Lobo]

Date: 14 June, 2016


To,

*Mr. Laxmikant Parsekar, *Chief Minister of Goa.
Secretariat, Penha de Franca/Porvorim-Goa.



Sir,

*Sub: Open Letter.*


Your party, the Bharatiya Janata Party- BJP was elected to power in 2012
Elections to rule Goa,  because your manifesto prominently displayed your
party’s wish to curb, if not eliminate, corruption at high and low levels,
 terming that your party stood for ‘ZERO’ tolerance to corruption. Goa was
reeling under acute corruption by the previous Congress led government and
the people of Goa wanted a lid put on corruption. Your Party had worked-up
the people of Goa against corruption to  a frenzy, especially with respect
to casinos,  illegal mining etc., etc., [and those videos of Manohar
Parrikar as the then opposition leader are still going  viral]  Therefore,
a convincing mandate to your party to rule Goa sans corruption. But when
your Party took over, it was all water on duck’s back with U-turns after
U-turns on every single election promise that you made. Not being able to
face the rebuke for ‘confidence tricks’ played on Goans, Manohar Parrikar
bhai opted out of Goa to be India’s Defence Minister leaving his  boots,
nay sandals,  for you to walk in. And, at the outset, you did make a
declaration that you were not the natural choice to walk in Manohar
Parrikar’s sandals,  but that it was a ‘lottery’ that gave you the High
Seat of Goa’s administration.


It is easier to break corrupt practices, to castigate and penalize persons
indulging in such corrupt practices, when they mean nothing to those who
wield the whip. But as we see, your own brother-in-law has been red-handed
caught accepting a hefty bribe of one lac of rupees for a favour. You, at
first, did the right thing to disassociate yourself from this case. But
then you steadily succumbed to the family ties and went about breaking the
back-bone of the law enforcers, two, among the top most respected police
officers of Goa,  to save your kin. But then you have done something that
has been a trade-mark of your Party, which is “ catch a thief, take maximum
mileage out of it, brag and boast, and then when people tend to forget
things, quietly reinstate the thief or even worse, upgrade him to a higher
level of corruption”. Manohar Parrikar bhai  had show-cased this trade-mark
when he had himself, some years ago,  red-handed caught this Babu taking  a
bribe in his office. And to the chagrin of the general public, this babu
was kicked upstairs with a recommendation,  instead of being punished and
demoted to set the example. Inadvertently,  you have learnt the tricks of
the trade from your superiors. But then,  you have gone a step forward in
polishing the art of saving your own kin from the noose, inadvertently
telling the people of Goa the very words that they have come to the point
of revolting ‘ I AM DOING WHAT I WANT TO DO AND I DON’T CARE WHETHER YOU
LIKE IT OR NOT . AFTER ALL, I HAVE WON THE LOTTERY .  I AM IN CHARGE’.


But, dear Mr. Parsekar. This seemingly insignificant Party, which has come
up only to undo the terrible wrongs that your Party and others have done
unto Goa and Goans for far too long,  wants  to sound a piece of advice so
that you may do the introspection over your actions. The Legislative
Assembly Complex is funded by tax-payer’s money. It has a commendable
library. It would be prudent for you to step in that library and  find  the
book on the history of the Roman Empire where the Roman Emperor Julius
Caesar has uttered these words *“CAESAR’S WIFE MUST BE ABOVE SUSPICION”*
when he was asked to explain why he divorced  his wife Pompeia.


Thanking you,


Yours faithfully,

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] Open Letter to Arvind Kejriwal - COMMENTS

[Floriano Lobo]

Eugene,
Goa's elections have always been messy. Goa's catholic Church voted for
Congress all these 34 years. Of late because it did not want the BJP. But
in 2012 the tables were turned over Congress and BJP was voted in because
the Catholic Church did not want Congress any more. Now it can go back  to
Congress or AAP because it does not want BJP any more.  But Goa has never
considered its own alternative, all the time yo yo ing with the National
Parties who care a damn for Goa and Goans. GSRP will be around as long as
it can hold its own steam. This elections, it will not be bothered who Goa
votes in. It has its own priorities to take care of. It is going full swing
with minimum 30 candidates and shall be ready to form Goa's government with
least hassles because it is a planned programe how it shall move after
elections shud it get the majority mandate. But most will think that GSRP
is dreaming. Yes. That is right. It has been dreaming for 2017 to come
having been getting itself ready in all respects to prove itself. It has
done that by proving that it stand by its founding resolved and not wavered
the least bit. Taking over Goa's helm will only be a matter of time. Just
you wait and watch. Thanks for your inputs.

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

[Floriano Lobo]

Eugene, let  me say that your opinion is not correct. GSRP had two sittings
with AAP. And we discussed only two points which are the constitutional
 points with GSRP. "We say that we shall make only 5 member cabinet [art.
34 of the constitution]. Tell us where you want to meet with us on that"
... we asked Pankaj Gupta of AAP. We also told Pankaj Gupta that we are not
averse to the adjustment on this one but it cannot be full 12. That some
self-sacrifice must be seen if GSRP is involved. The second point was
GSRP's  article 38 of the constitution, which says that GSRP will not give
Govt corporations to MLAs but hire qualified persons on hire and fire basis
to run these to  make them profit centers.  "Tell us where you want to meet
us on this one, we told him, "and then we shall discuss the seat sharing
arrangements et al." Pankaj Gupta told us that he has to talk this matter
with his High Command i.e. Kejriwal. He is  coming  to Goa, he said,  and
we shall arrange a meeting, then. Nothing happened. Looks like it is AAP
that is the one who wants to go it alone in Goa. Don't you think so?
GSRP is always open to aliances. But it will not dilute its firm points
which are the mainstays of this Party. GSRP is not POWER-HUNGRY. It it was,
then it would be in the Assembly a long time ago and it would  be
blacklisted too for not adhering to the founding principles.

Re: [Goanet] IS MARATHI THE STATE LANGUAGE OF GOA?

[Floriano Lobo]

DATE:  23 JULY, 2015

To,
*The General Manager,*
BSNL,
Head Office –Altinho Panjim-Goa.

Sir,


*SUB: Marathi Language voice directions/announcements on BSNL Landline Ops
in Goa. *
This is to bring to your kind attention that BSNL, by and large, has been
patronizing the Marathi Language to give voice directions/announcements
over the landline services when the Official Language of the State of Goa
is *KONKANI* and as such, this is highly objectionable. This disrespect  to
Goa’s *Official Language* has been ongoing for far too long and must stop.
Marathi Language is not the spoken language in Goa and those who converse
in Marathi in Goa are settlers in Goa from Maharashtra and who constitute
less than 2 per cent of Goa’s indigenous population.

Kindly, therefore, change-over to KONKANI within a time frame of 30 days
from the above date, failing which a *PUBLIC INTEREST WRIT PETITION* shall
be filed in the High Court of Bombay at Panjim, Goa, to redress the
continued humiliation accorded to the *Official Language *of the State of
Goa leading to the dilution of Goa’s unique Identity. This gradual but
decisive marathization of Goa  has also been creeping in through original
name change of places like Mahapsa for *Mapusa/Mapuca*, Sankali for
*Sanquelim*, Harmal for *Arambol*, etc., to which this party will put a
full stop in the immediate future.  As this party sees it, , the languages
used by BSNL in Goa to direct its customers should be mainly KONKANI and
English and to a lesser extent, Hindi, but not Marathi.

Kindly take note and oblige.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Sd/-

Hopefully, with GSRP trying to lead a 30 strong team in the coming

they have to come together.This is the prime requisite. No?  But Goans are
kept divided with altogether newer national monsters entering the electoral
fray in Goa. 2016-17 is the ultimate MAKE OR BREAK for GOA and GOANS. Only
time will tell. But the break, if it happens, will not be blamed for want
of deserving leadership. It has been around for the past almost 16 years
and no one has taken a second look at it.

Re: [Goanet] Fwd: Morcha on Goa DMG and Dharna at Azad Maidan by Caurem villagers

[Floriano Lobo]

We at GSRP  made it a point to  visit the protesting Cavremkars at the Azad
Maidan, today this evening. They were  mostly women and children among men
totaling  aprox about 80 to hundred. It was a pleasure to address them and
make them laugh a bit making them forget their concerns for the future,
their  sorrows.

I introduced myself as a 'KANEKAR',  one who is selling Onions and not as a
politicians. This  was something that they did not expect and it was claps
all around. "Do you see just one onion vendor or a line of them when you go
to the market?"  "Do you pick up your load from the first one you see or
check out others too for the quality and price?" "Does anyone give you
onions for free?" "If one vendor wants to give you his onions for half the
going price or less, do you open your bag?" " NO?"  "Why?" "Because you
know that most of those onions will be rotten if not all. Isn't it?"  "What
happens when you cut  onions?" "Your eyes get stung and tears come out,
Isn't it?"  If the onion is rotten inside, will those tears be of joy or
anger?" " Will you not be happy if you get good onions for less?"  Does it
not take some pains, time and effort  to find out this commodity when you
are shopping?"  "When you cut these good onions will your tears not be of
JOY?"

Consider the coming elections as a market place where all political parties
are selling political onions. If there were just two vendors, you would
probably avoid the Nagpur onion walla and go to the home grown one, because
the Nagpurwala makes you sweat in the hot sun at far away Panjim's  Azad
Maidan, as if you had nothing else to do,  tormenting and harassing you,
not giving in to your demands. But is that possible to have only two onion
vendors in the political market place? In fact every one will be squatting
there tempting you with their brand of onions. Therefore, you must be smart
enough to check out the  onions thoroughly before you invest in them,
turning them over, pressing them to find out if they are soft and rotten,
checking out the price, etc. NO? Because, when you take your onions home,
you should not cry bitter tears of frustration  and helplessness coupled
with anger and irritation for making the wrong choice. In fact your tears
should be the tears of JOY for  having made a choice to help yourself and
not the Onionwalla.

And if you should come to check out 'our' [GOA SU-RAJ PARTYS]  onions, you
will see that ours have just '5 member cabinet', not 12  (your tax money
saved so that the crippling load on the future of your children, the
70,000/- crores of public debts may be paid off), No Corporations and
Institutions to MLAs (these Organizations will make  profits rather than
losses. Example they built 3 toilets for 6 crores, can you imagine? ), You
get Co-operative Mining as well as Rs. 10,000/- per month per every Goan
Household per month for the next 25 years  thrown in as mining profit share
 so that you don't need Laadly Laxmi, BPL schemes  etc etc.). You get your
agriculture thriving. You get your  forests back. You get rid of MOPA to
save your beloved Dabolim airport besides getting the Navy out. You get
Kadamba running from 5 a.m to 2 a.m. on new and original tyres, not
re-threaded ones. You get fly-overs and bridges as well  as fast moving
river boats for transport so that you don't have to slog it out on roads
and die under the wheels of buses and trucks. You get MOI  for your
children in primary schools in their  mother tongue Konkani  so that your
kids understand what they are taught, these vital instructions  to stay
with them forever and go to make them Goans of repute, capable of learning
 English, Marathi, Hindi, French, Portuguese or even Chinese and Japanese
in their life-time and be successful, with state of the art PRIMARY SCHOOLS
throughout Goa. and,  excellent law and order so that they do not
break the bones of those who are put in jails, and refuse to take action on
the culprits in spite of everything been recorded on CCTV cameras.  You
will probably have to sleep here if I go on and on, so I better stop.

And one last thing so that you can think about it while you are travelling
back home to Cavrem. You get your own High Command in Goa so that if you
want to throw a stone and break some heads for taking wrong decision which
make you suffer like this, then you do not have to travel all the way to
Delhi,Nagpur, or elsewhere. You can just pick up a stone and throw it right
here in Goa, anywhere, on any one  to draw blood.

All this ended in a terrific applause.

Safe journey back home, Cavremkars, until we meet again.

GSRP for Goa's Own High Command in Goa.

BTW: THIS IS GOING TO BE GSRP'S CAMPAIGN SPEECH FOR ELECTIONS 2016-17.

[Goanet] Commemoration of 'GAUNKAR'S DAY' ... A press release for kind favour of publication.

[Floriano Lobo]

*Dated: 16.04.2016*

*To,*


*The Editors, Bureau  Chiefs, Staff reporters, Admins and others, State of
Goa.*


Sir/s,


*SUB:   'Commemoration of the ‘GAUNKAR’S DAY' ….. A press release for kind
favour of publication for the benefit, knowledge & information of your
esteemed readerships.  *



Kindly release the hereunder reproduced resolution passed  by Gaunkars
representing  Village Communities /Comunidades of Goa, assembled for the
annual gathering held at the Institute Piedade Hall, Panjim, on 15th April,
to commemorated their Gaunkar’s Day.


Thanking you for your kind  co-operation.


Yours   Truly,

Sd/-

[Adv. Andre A Pereira]

Convenor, Gaunkar’s Day.





The Press Release:



" *The  Gaunkars of respective Comunidades  of Goa have reason to enjoy
today the benefits of their regained ‘Sovereignty’ ages before the concept
of any State vesting with such Sovereignty ever came to be conceived.*



*That as of 15.04.1961,  the Gaunkars and the Comunidades of  Goa remain
free from the concept of ‘State Landlordism’ through the promulgation of
the ‘Diploma Legislative No.2070’ dated 15.04.1961 as stands notified and
published in the Government Official Gazette dated 15.04.1961, solemnly
declaring that the respective Comunidades of Goa are absolute ‘private
owners’ of their inalienable Community lands covering the respective
villages not held by State grants at any point of time. *


*That in terms of Article 5 of the Code of Comunidades in force, the
Government has admitted of being under the testamentary obligation to
provide the all time assured and guaranteed State Administrative Tutelage,
both preventive and curative in nature, to the Village Communities or
Comunidades of Goa, against any kind of prejudice being caused or caused at
the instance of any source. *



*That the above said Code of Comunidades is the general ‘personal law’ of
Comunidades of Goa, not enacted by any legislature. It contains mainly the
time tested compilation of  usages and customs that have been practiced and
followed by gaunkars from generation to generation when dealing with the
management of affairs pertaining to the common welfare of their respective
villages through  the inalienable Community lands. *

*  The said inalienable Community lands consists of water bodies and
natural resources, and,  in terms of above said declaration,  never
belonged to any State Ruler who came into existence after the said
Gaunkaries were established, to be inherited by any succeeding Governments.
*



*That the existence of Village Communities or Comunidades of Goa, covering
over 80% of area under the land mass of the Territory of Goa with absolute
or with allodial inalienable community land and the Gaunkars or population
hailing from above said absolute private villages of Goa are not the
‘electorate’ in terms of the provisions of the ‘Representation of Peoples
Act, 1951’, as foreseen by Constitution of India.*



*That the provisions of both Central and State Laws, which are in
conformity with the Constitution of India, cannot apply in the areas where
proprietorship in given land originally does not vests with the State.
There cannot be any duly constituted Revenue Districts in Goa of any
Government in Goa headed by any designated Collector/s, in the absence of
State land Tenure holdings. That no Sovereignty of the State can ever vest
with any Government where no such Revenue District can come to exist.*


*Gaunkars stand informed, for above reasons, that a petition dated
28.03.2016 has been  filed before H.E. the  President of India,  in terms
of ‘Article 365’ of the Constitution of India, demanding that appropriate
 action be taken for redress since the Gaunkars and their respective
Village Communities or Comunidades are subjected to atrocities and
fraudulent acts and deeds carried out by every successive unconstitutional,
undemocratic and non-authentic State Governments in Goa.”*

COMMENTS

When one has been instrumental in wiping out the Bambolim Comunidade in
order to endear out of state builders, one naturally wants the out of state
party to take hold of Goa after two such parties have had fun looting Goa
to the extent that it will be a very difficult task to put it together,
especially with Goa's Comunidades eaten from inside by its own GAUNKARS.

Naturally, National Parties will be promoted  by celebrities like James
Monteiro, whom  Goans believe that such writers are patriotic Goans little
knowing that these are just actors playing their role for the money that is
there to make and not for the love of Goa. In today's debate No.2 at Times
Now with Arnab Goswami,we have seen how celebrities such as cricketer Dhoni
have taken huge money to promote housing projects being their band
ambassadors, fooling people towards buying these apartments at huge costs
and getting miserably cheated on specifications and amenities promised,
just because the endorser was their hero. And when the push comes to shove,
these celebrities run away claiming that they were merely acting and that
they are not responsible. When GSRP comes to power, it will make sure that
the laws in this regard in Goa will change to bleed the celebrities 10
times the amount they made acting in these advertisements plus a time in
jail. Only then the responsibility which goes into making money fooling
people will be taken seriously.

We feel that James Monteiro's article shoring AAP is nothing but paid news
paid for by AAP to promote its brand in Goa little knowing that the brand
ambassador is a leech who is neither a Goan nor a patriot. The entire write
up is nothing but and endorsement of a National Party  which gets shoes
flung at its hero CM from the rank and file of the Party who cannot digest
lies.

If GSRP had Rs. 25,000/- to shell out for a promo like this, Goa would be
much much safer with it OWN HIGH COMMAND IN GOA since 1961. But then even
if GSRP was offered multiples of  Rs.25,000/- to do this necessary act, it
would chose not to because it is not  ethical to fool the people in their
innocence.

Re: [Goanet] Objections to Investment Promotion Board recommendation to convert Capao (Vanxim) land as settlement zone to set up 5 star hotel and villas by Ozone Leisure and Resort Pvt Ltd

[Floriano Lobo]

TCP powers cannot be usurped through ORDINANCES  to  Goa TCP Act which was
brought in when Goa was the Union Territory and the then TCP Act is in the
Concurrent List, not the State List where every time any amendments or
Ordinances issued under this Act must have the assent of the President of
India.

None of these TCP ordinances have the assent of the President of India.
Therefore these are null and void.

This is the constitutional matter which GSRP took to the Supreme Court
 when TCP Act was taken over by Goa Government through the then TCP
Ordinance  to promote IFFI in Goa. The only tragedy was that when the
Supreme Court sent the writ petition back to the Bombay High Court, the
Bombay High Court at Goa cited a Culcutta High Court judgment to say that
constitutional matters must be decided by the Supreme Court. GSRP had no
funds to go back to the Supreme Court and  therefore withdrew the Petition.
This was the tragedy. Manohar Parrikar and AG ANS Nadkarni celebrated this
day when GSRP withdrew this petition.

Kindly check out this angle. We are sure every TCP Ordinance will go out of
the window.

GSRP

PS: GSRP is  tired out fighting. Now it wants  to give Goa its own High
Command in Goa which will sort out each and every Goan problem in Goa, not
in Dilli, not in Nagpur or elsewhere. But we believe that Goans are deaf
and numb to this idea. For that we say, remain deaf  and numb until  you
are eaten up alive along with your children.
Cheers

Re: [Goanet] Protest and demonstration by Caurem villagers against illegal mining transportation

[Floriano Lobo]

GSRP General Secretary and St. Andre declared Candidate for 2017 visited
Caurem yesterday Saturday evening but reached at the site of protest just
after it was called off for the day. Met Adv. Swas and thereafter tried to
contact Nilesh Gaonkar and Ravindra Velip. Returned to  Quepem and visited
Ravindra Velip at his home. His left hand which was in pain after the day's
protest was being re-bandaged . It seems that Ravindra has returned home
just a day before after a successful operation to remove the splinters of
bone which our  Goa's medical fraternity could  not find or should we say
could not see due to POLITICAL PRESSURE? We are happy to have talked to one
of Goa's most committed young man and are concerned about the FIR  not
being filed in the case of his assault in Sada-sub Jail, yet. He and his
family members have taken note when we told them that GSRP will disbandon
the Goa Mining Policy and give Co-Operative Society status to Goa's mining
where the profits made over sustainable mining shall be transferred to
every GOAN household  @ Rs. 10,000/- per month minimum for the next 25
years so that all the vote-bank schemes like Laadly Lakxmi etc be scrapped
once and for all. He was also told that Goa's existing public debt which
stands at Rs. 70,000 crore must be repaid if Goa's youth and gen next is to
have a qualitative future, half of it through the recovery of the mining
loot from the indicted mine owners which has been reported by Shah
Commission to stand at Rs. 35,000 crore.  The GSRP Team left Ravindra;s
home after wishing him a speedy recovery.

Re: [Goanet] THE BATTLE AT THE 2017 ASSEMBLY ELECTIONS MUST BE BY A UNITED GOA VERSUS THE BJP

[Floriano Lobo]

Pan Goa Unity is a pipe dream with every circumferential force pulling in
the direction other than the center. And the BJP might just be fanning the
fires for the split-up.

The only alternative is the GOAN VOTER. Caste your vote for GOA, not for
any particular force's charismatic leadership but for  the programme that
will do all these things and more:

1. Reduced Cabinet (Less than 12, preferably 9) so that crores are saved to
pay off the debt trap of 70,000 crore which is hanging over the heads of
Goa's posterity, with no Corporations & Institutions to MLAs to bring them
out  from loss making stagnation again to pay back  the public debt. The
ingredient of SELF SACRIFICE for a greater good must be visible.

2.Co-Operative Mining  with Rs. 10,000/month to every Goan household for
the next 25 years.

3.Scrapping of Agricultural Tenancy Act 1964 to restore Comunidades to
their   pre-1961 eminence to promote agriculture
.
4.Amendments to Panchayat & Municipalities Acts to hold Sarpanches and
Chairpersons accountable with specified jail  terms for dereliction of
 duties and  corrupt  practices so that 73rd and  74th Constitutional
amendments are implemented in toto.

5. Recovery of Rs. 35,000 crore of illegal mining loot from mine owners
through letting Directorate of Enforcement [ED] loose on these indicted
miners if they do not comply within a set time frame to pay off half the
Public Debts at one shot and reduce the crippling interests payment for
servicing these loans.

6.Move floating  Casinos from Mandovi River to Off-Shore
locations. so on and so forth.

GSRP's treasure trove is full of the above but these 6 priority listing
will do for now to send the right signal to the voters of Goa what they
should vote for, because, in the mad rush of every Tom Dick and Harry to
claim their pound of flesh, the HYENA is going to  run away with the
 prized catch.

And BTW for those Goans who value GSRP's stand of 15 long years without an
iota of giving in, the work of identifying those voters who will vote for
GSRP is very much on since the day the election results were declared in
2012 elections.

GSRP is on it way of practically choosing its voters selectively in order
not to waste its time or its breath on those who will not vote for it.
Rest assured. But GSRP's hands must be strengthened as its grip might  not
 be strong enough.

Cheers
GSRP

firmly for what we want and what we do not want,  and to send a clear
signal that GOANS do not want GOA to be excessively  militarized. Kindly
carry your own eats, water and placards. This shall be a peaceful gathering

The GOA SU-RAJ PARTY congratulates the people of  South Goa for resisting
this foolish intent of the Government of Goa to lend large chunks of Goa's
limited lands to the Central Agencies when Goa is reeling under the
pressure to preserve its lands for Goa's well being and for the benefit of
Goans.

GSRP will do all these things which are a part of its permanent Manifesto
when GOANS FEEL IT FIT TO PUT IT ON THE PEDESTAL IT DESERVES TO BE:-
1. Put the Navy on  short notice to move out of Dabolim lock-stock and
barrel, to  maintain a very minimum security presence as universally
demanded at International Airports.

2. Scrap MOPA which is the brain-child of the Navy to digest Goa's Civilian
Airport illegally captured after Operation Vijay.

3. Shift the Army Signal Head Quarters located in Panjim along with the
Militiary Hospital to either Bambolim or elsewhere. Goans do not want the
military remain in the congested City of Panjim.

4. The extent of lands given to central agencies in Goa shall be put under
strict review and mostly terminated.

5. The Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Navy and the Goa
Government vis a vis the take over of Goa's Anjediva Island by the Navy
shall be reviewed especially with the Navy having flouted the terms of this
Memorandum where the locals shall be allowed pilgrimage to the religious
shrine located on the Island to keep the aged old tradition. The Anjediva
Island transfer to the Navy is illegal and shall be reverted.

6. Goans do not want Goa to  be militarized to afford good life to the
military personnel at the cost of GOANS primarily because Goa does not have
VOLATILE BORDERS.

7. Goa has been used by the Centre as it likes with their chamcha
governments in Goa dancing to every tune that the Centre plays w.r.t.
defence and accommodating defence agencies in Goa without questioning the
rationale. Therefore it is time for GOA to have Goa's Own High Command In
Goa so that decision are taken in Goa what happen in Goa and Goans and not
in Delhi, Nagpur or elsewhere on  the basis of loaded suitcases with
currency notes.

8. Foremost, the Centre has to answer the questions that Goans are asking
about the Goa's conquest and annexation, without giving GOANS the
opportunity to chose  their  own fate, as promised by Pandit Jawaharlal
Nehru when he had said
QUOTE
" I WANT TO EXPLAIN MYSELF. IF THE PEOPLEOF GOA, MINUS THE PORTUGUESE,

Dear Goans,
What we had prior to 1961 was a benevolent  Colonialist -rule  from a far.
What we have after 1961 is  repressive Colonialist rule  from across the
borders of Goa.
There is no difference, more so this present colonialist rule  is diluting
us GOANs instead of promises given to protect us, so bad, that we shall
have to shine a  torch-light  to identify GOANS IN GOA in times to come.
What you are doing against DefExpo is our BIRTHRIGHT.
WE GOANS MUST NOT  ALLOW ANYONE TO SLIGHT US in the name of the Security of
the Nation.
for, GOA and GOANS do not have the obligation to protect the Nation  at
their very costs.
CHARITY STARTS AT HOME.
And we shall observe this CARDINAL RULE.

Re: [Goanet] New political aprty in the offing

[Floriano Lobo]

Thank you Nelson for a brief but laudable  mention of Goa Su-Raj Party. In
fact, Goans had expected to see the demise of this newcomer Goa's regional
Party soon after it was formed in 2000. A question was asked in Aldona when
the Party contested the 2002 elections (with  8 candidates), the Party's
first after its formation. "Will you be around  when the next election
comes?" The answer given was an emphatic "Yes, GSRP will be around in the
next election, the elections after that until it leads Goa with full
majority". This answer was perhaps taken with a pinch of salt  and wrinkled
noses. Yes, GSRP was there in 2005 by-elections in Taleigao,  2007 in
Aldona, 2012 in Aldona & Taleigao. The time for GSRP's promotion came to an
end with 2012 elections when the Congress was mutilated. GSRP had a hand in
this, specifically because its belief was that Congress was a a Cobra that
needed to be put away at any cost. Goans could play with the BJP until it
took itself out with its communal fever. Here we come in 2017 with an
intended full regimen of 30+ candidates. Money? GSRP shall not be going to
the money-bags. It has been built with sound principles which cannot erode
with time as there never has been a rush to get into a place of  power. The
mantra has always been "SLOW AND STEAD WINS THE RACE" It will go  to the
people for whatever they will spare to build  a massive mountain with they
themselves participating. GSRP is going to repeat in Goa the OBAMA EFFECT
that put a BLACK PRESIDENT in the White House with small/insignificant
contributions from the masses, through it's masterpiece "I LOVE MY GOA"
pledges of Rs. 50/- and Rs. 100/- which pledges Goans may frame and
treasure to tell a story to their next generation how Goa was saved through
their small/tiny contribution.

[Goanet] GEAG Member assaulted during NGT ordered site-inspection- A Press Note for kind favour of publication.

[Floriano Lobo]

Date: 5 January, 2016

To,
Editors, Bureau Chiefs, Admins,

A Press Note for kind favour of publication.



Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
Sd/
Hon. G.S.
Goa Environmental Action Group-GEAG.

***
GEAG Member assaulted during NGT ordered site-inspection

GCZMA (Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority] on the direction of the
National Green Tribunal issued on December 14th to file a 'Compliance
Report' had
scheduled the inspection of the Hill Rock Resort and Restaurant  at Tiracol
Village  for  4th. January, 2016 at 10.30 a.m which was later carried
out at  3.00 p.m. Goa Environmental Action Group (GEAG) member Savio
Rodrigues had approached the NGT to expose the blatant illegality and
inaction of the government to stop the illegal construction of the resort. He
had shown to the NGT that this structures had no permissions from any
government authorities, including the local panchayat,  and were built in
violation of the all rules  and regulations in force.

The GCZMA team consisted of Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Shirodkar. The Complainant
was accompanied by Mr. Floriano Lobo , the Hon. Gen. Secretary of the GEAG.

At the site, the son of Mr. Diogo Constance D'Souza, who is in possesion of
properties under Survey Nos. 15(1A) & 15/2,  Mr. Sarto D'Souza,  assaulted
Mr. Savio Rodrigues through a rain of  abuses with a threat to kill him,
resulting in the damage to his spectacles and bruises to his face.

Mr. Savio Rodrigues later filed a Police complaint with the Pernem Police
Station, where he was sent for a medical check. However, the Pernem police
have prefered to register a Non Cognizable Offence against  Mr. Sarto
D'Souza. The Case No: 09/15 has been  filed Under Section 504, 506, 427
1-D.E.

Speaking on the developments, Mr. Floriano Lobo expressed, "This is
deplorable and unacceptable that a member of an NGO be man-handled by
violator of all government building laws, rules and regulations. It is even
more shocking and disappointing that the Pernem police only filed a NC. In
fact,  we had instructed the GCZMA get police protection,  knowing the
sensitive nature of the violations. But all that the GCZMA could do is to
tell us not to worry . The  Pernem Police themselves showed their acute
surprise that GCZMA even went to the site without requesting police
protection. "We are very sensitive to Tiracol after the Leading Hotels
episode,. We would have provided police protection even if this was
requested by  dialing 100 " they said.

Re: [Goanet] Traffic jams ...

[Floriano Lobo]

Add to it the 3rd. Mandovi Bridge works and the hot-mixing of the National
Highway during office hours. I for one, was held up from  ACDIL Porvorim to
the Bridge for 1 hour 15 minutes. Instead of reaching Margao to address the
meeting at 4.30 p.m. I reached there at 6.00 p.m. And I have added another
ban to the one that I have posted yesterday i.e banning all BANDHS in Goa
when GSRP comes to power, this one being that NO HOTMIXING WORK SHALL BE
UNDERTAKEN ANYWHERE IN GOA EITHER ON NATIONAL HIGHWAY OR LOCAL LOWWAYS,
during office hours. Hotmizxing works shall start at 12.00 midnight and end
at 6.00 to 8 a.m. Period.

Re: [Goanet] BISMARQUE CASE: SAMMY ROPED IN TO ASSIST CRIME BRANCH PROBE- NT.- COMMENTS

[Floriano Lobo]

I, along with one of Bismarque's favourite musical warrior had a long
sitting with DySP Sammy Tavares to appraise him of all details that needs
to be taken care of in this investigation. He has given us a patient
hearing. Hoping that the investigation turns around to fix the culpability
on the definate murder.

Re: [Goanet] LETTER WRITTEN TODAY BY PROF PETER RONALD DE SOUZA TO THE ADVOCATE GENERAL OF GOA ATMARAM NADKARNI

[Floriano Lobo]

Floriano Lobo <https://www.facebook.com/floriano.lobo> Dear Prof. Peter
Ronald De Souza, Sir, I normally skip this type of involvement into
controversies where frustrated persons want to take on the popular
government, a government that lives for the welfare of the people, go beg
and borrow to make them most comfortable. I have never considered you as a
frustrated person but a person who has his head squarely on his shoulders
and therefore, I ventured to read all that you have written. And, sorry to
say, I wish I had not read it after all because I am now convinced that you
are really a frustrated man. You are questioning Goa's God Almighty of Law
and Constitution matters? How dare you? This is not the first Ordinance
that he has passed through his fingers. Remember the IFFI [Town and Country
Planning] Ordinance? Any body had the guts to challenge that one? Besides,
our Advocate General is the King MOMO of the present dispensation. He says,
'go ahead and do it' and it is done. Keeping your frustrations aside, you
must realise that Goans have given this Government a simple majority to do
what it likes with their lives. Commandere large tracks of eco sensitive
areas and hand them over to their benefectors. Example is Tiracol, Carmona
and more importantly MOPA. They have even murdered the most vociferous of
opponents of MOPA by taking him in and then giving his a 21 gun salute,
thereby grooming his widow to be a lifelong chamcha. Frustrated people like
yourself have been trying to revert back these decisions but sadly they are
powerless in front of this giant. They own a pliant Governor. They own a
determined Prime Minister. They even have a Defence Minister who is ready
to put his arms around them and egg them on, any time, any day, as if the
flights from Delhi to Goa and vice versa are batata wadas. Who do you have?
the Courts? Forget it if you think the Courts will come to the rescue of
frustrated people and the Constitution which is limping. They want to turn
Goa University into a RSS shaka. Already Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, the RSS
ideologue has been installed on the grounds of Goa University. The next
thing that will happen is that VC Shetye, in his new avatar ,will be
marching with a kala topic, khaki chaddi and a danda to dare you to stand
up and be counted. The best that you and your friend Aires can do is to
drown your sorrows over a shot of Caju Feni and start living again. Better
still, chanting 'Parsekar Zindabad'. GSRP

COMMENTS:

Thanks to God I have taken birth one week before the Indian subcontinent
that was known as BRITISH INDIA became independent on 15 August 1947.
Thanks to God I have grown up to my adolescense when Goa was India
Portuguesa, meaning, a colony of Portugal which had nothing to do in
British India or India and enjoyed the status of an independent country for
the past 4 centuries or so. Thanks to God that I never never considered
myself a citizen of India when in 1962 the Indian Citizenship was forced
down my teenage throat without me having been asked if I wanted to be the
citizen of this rougue country which was lead by the No. one rougue and
hypocrite Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and who invaded my country against the
norms of the United Nations of which India and Portugal were members and
were bound to respect its charter. And thanks to God, I, unlike the author
above, do not have to speak against my own country, the country which has
continually fustrustated me for being what it is, a country which does not
have ethics, a country that blows with the wind like an air sock, a country
that loots itself and stashes the loot in SWISS BANK's secret ACCOUNTS, a
country that elects its Prime minister and seats him in the country's
highest office instead of incarcerating him in Tihar Jail for the murder
and anihilation of 2000 people, announcing to the whole world that another
ADOLF HITLER is on the make possessing a murderous heart with similar

inner strenght to call my Goa of my birth my very own country and not
INDIA, not Bharat, and I believe that one day I shall get my country's
passport to my satisfaction and/or enjoy the much derserved SPECIAL STATUS
for my Country just like NAGALAND is about to get hers.

[Goanet] If I were to be the CM of Goa : By Floriano Lobo Gen. Sec. GSRP

[Floriano Lobo]

IF I WERE TO BE THE CM OF GOA

“Floriano? Chief Minister of Goa?” Is he kidding? “…. would be the chorus
which could make any normal person with normal hearing, deaf .

“Why? Just because he believes that the Party he has helped form some
decade and a half ago [which party is not even known to 5 per cent of Goans
that it exists] is the only party that can save Goa? First, Let him get
himself elected as the Panch member of his Moira Panchayat and then talk
about being the CM of Goa. There is a limit to wishful thinking….”

Well, wishful thinking or not, let me get to the basics of putting a real
CM of Goa in the august seat to spur the expectations of Goans that they
have for Goa and who have come a long way since December 19 of 1961..

One of the very first things that I would do, along with my [four] cabinet
colleagues, if I were to be elected (not made) CM of Goa, at the post
Election Party Convention, would be to do ‘NOTHING’ for the first couple of
weeks or so. Why? Because I would not have to break my head over whom to
give what cabinet berth and whom to keep out. In the bargain I would make
more enemies than friends, to start with. This difficult job of selecting
the CM and the cabinet in one go and to distribute balanced portfolio
charts to all will have been taken care of by my Party at the post election
Party convention, to spare me the acute headache. All that I would want to
do is to snatch the cosy, carefree, peaceful night’s slumber from Goa’s
bureaucratic heads for one, while I and my Cabinet colleagues relaxed to
ease out the hectic election campaign-trail fatigue and got ourselves
acquainted with the staff of various departments with whom we would be
working closely for the next 5 years, as also to chart out a course of
action to right the wrongs as portrayed in the Party’s ‘bible’ , the
ROADMAP FOR GOA. I say 5 year term because the people of Goa (I will not
say ‘Goans’ because a sizeable number of the people who would be
responsible to get my Party elected with full majority would be non-Goans,
who love Goa just as well and whom my party refers to as ‘Goa lovers’),
being frustrated with the inefficient, lackadaisical, highhanded, hidden
agenda oriented previous governments, placating the rich and the affluent
resulting in Goa’s treasury having gone bankrupt creating more problems
than solving them.

On the question of how I would be giving sleepless nights to the
bureaucratic heads. Well, since my government would be fully functional the
day after the ‘low profile’ oath taking ceremony at the Raj Bhavan [low
profile in order not to further burden the already creaking treasury under
the humongous load of public debts] immediately following the conclusion of
the post election Party convention, the oath having been taken collectively
with my cabinet colleague in loud and clear ‘KONKANI’; the seating of the
first Cabinet would take place the day after taking of the oath of office.
Summons would have been sent to all heads of departments to be present for
the crucial introductory meet with the new Cabinet at the conference hall
of the secretariat. This meet would have set the agenda for the
government’s day to day working for the rest of the term, primarily,
sending a clear signal to all departmental heads that ‘punctuality’ in
office timings would be on test with serious repercussions over the laxity
of functioning on their continuance as heads of departments. This meet
would have given the department heads sleepless nights in order to
reactivate their departments to the diligent working mode.

My government would have changed the very concept of ‘ Cabinet Meetings’
from ‘once in a blue moon’ to an every day affair where the cabinet members
would meet on every day basis to discuss, approve and/or disapprove
decisions and agree to disagree on ‘policy implementation’ problems so that
the governance of the State is not hindered, as also to keep the government
departments on pins to serve the people the way they should. Each cabinet
member would be free to voice his appreciations and/or his objections with
respect to the implementation of the government policies irrespective of
who held the portfolios, and there would be no such thing as ‘you mind your
portfolio and I shall mind mine” thing, since the cabinet would be working
in a perfectly co-ordinated manner to remove the independence of ministers
to do what they liked with their portfolios. And the press would be a part
and parcel of the cabinet decision making process so that the people of Goa
would not be kept hungry and/or in the dark to know what is being cooked
for them so that they could sharpen their taste buds or shy away from the
bitter medicines

My government would be in no hurry to prove to the people that it is doing
an excellent job through publication of photographs of CM and Ministers
inaugurating kiosks, public toilets, of breaking coconuts over the
hot-mixing machines and foundation stones of projects, of taking brooms in

Re: [Goanet] Goa University:Cutting off the roots

[Floriano Lobo]

Someone had to point these things out and we [GSRP] thanks Pamela D'Mello
for doing a huge service by doing just this.

In its Road Map for  Goa, Education aka Educational Hub  for Goa has been
hugely stressed. Right from Primary Schooling to  the University Campus,
 GSRP's VISION has been explained at nauxeaum which also includes
de-politicizing or rather removing all nuances of political interferences
from the the Educational Institutions.

That it takes visionaries to think of the  future of the coming generations
is something that is  lost on the borers who bore holes in the woodwork for
a living.They are not expected to have Vision/s FOR Goa. They only have the
magnified Vision OF Goa, like Manohar Parrikar has rightly pointed out to
the late Dr. Wilfred D'Souza in his letter to him.

Re: [Goanet] IS IT A WITCH HUNT AGAINST PASSPORT OFFICER AGNELO FERNANDES?

[Floriano Lobo]

I have admired  Agnelo Fernandes'  administrative skills  only when I
interacted with him as the passport officer when I had a problem obtaining
the renewal of my passport because of a criminal case having been
registered against me and many others by the Porvorim Police when we had
courted arrest at the Goa Legislative Assembly Complex when we wanted to
submit a memorandum to the CM ( Digamber Kamat against MEGA PROJECTS in GOA
by outsiders)  and when PI Devendra Gad assaulted women activists. When I
told Agnelo Fernandes that the case was a stupid one and it was dismissed,
he held me responsible for not disclosing the same in my application and as
a result I had to pay Rs. 5000/- fine if I wanted my passport. I refused to
pay the fine. But he stuck to  his guns. Eventually, I had to pay the fine
and take my renewal. I had congratulated him on his putting the Passport
Department in good working order and parted as citizen - Government Officer
 but with me holding him in deep respect. One hundred bottles of foreign
liquor is no crime. He could be a collector of foreign liquor bottles. If
he has contravened the laws of the land, he should be punished. But let
this punishment be unilateral and not selective. This vendetta seems to be
a selective vendetta on a GOAN Officer when the  Passport office in Goa is
infested with Keralites and others. This will change drastically when  GSRP
is at the helm of Goa's affairs and GOANs will be in charge of Departments
whether the Centre likes it or not. But GOANs or not none shall be
protected for excesses.  GSRP

[Goanet] ON ' WATCHING TV '

[Floriano Lobo]

*ON WATCHING TV*

If anyone should ask me " Have you seen the News on TV?" My general
response is "I do not watch TV"

Yes. That is right. I do not watch TV,  primarily because I have better
things to do.
However, the only time I watch TV is during my dinner time ( and  this is
after 10 p.m. when folks have retired from whatching  Aisha Sareen and
Laxmi Matur), when I sit in front of the TV while I eat. And this just
for watching Ten Sports or Ten Action, mainly football.

Unfortunately, there was U.S. Open Tennis Doubles going on today, and after
watching this play for some time (because of Bopana), I switched on to
Prudent Media and was in time to watch  the zombie Dy. CM speaking
to Pramod Acharya on the coming Municipal Elections and 27% reservations to
OBC. Talking about OBC, it has become quite a rolling business with people
wanting to be OBCs left, right and center. Not only one can get a sackful
of rice  dirt cheap on a BPL ration card (which GSRP wants to abolish) but
one can also contest elections and become Dy. CMs. Rightly, I met a friend
of a friend from Vasco at Dr. Willie's funeral, yesterday, and when we
exchanged phone numbers, he asked me to let him know if anyone wanted OBC
certificates. He informed me that he works for some Government Office  and
is in charge of  giving OBC certificates. Coming back to the Prudent Media,
as I was about to  flick the channel, the news started with my favourite
rolly-polly Ms anchor (I like the cool way she reads the news,  and, if I
had to vote for a Goan newscaster, I would vote for her,many times over).
Naturally, not being a TV fan, I do not know her name. And I was stunned
when she started reading the news about some Andhra based investment
company, which has been operating from Osia Chambers, Margao, for some time
with a registered office in Goa, has left the Goan asshole investors high
and dry and made good with a booty of 1.5 crores in a few months. I felt
like punching a joker investor who was narating his story and who has, he
says,  single handedly invested Rs. 15L. Now he is complaining that nobody
is picking up the phones and that some sister-in-law of one of the
partners is giving fairy tale  answers. I also saw Michael Ferns, the Goa's
do gooder in the  background hold a company's phanphlet. The laughable
thing is that the company had offered 50% interest rate or some such
fantastic figure  and that the capital investment would be increased by
half in 6 months. So everybody rushed in with whatever they had. They
should have been wiser to discard investment companies like these as
scamsters who offer  more than 12 to 15 % interest rates. The worst thing
is that these con artists can come to Goa and dupe Goans as and when they
like and to whatever extent. And our Goa's administration, aka Goa Police
is busy extorting somewhere esle, preferably from criminals and Matka
people, etc, not paying any attention to these rogue companies  setting up
shops in Goa to polish lifetime savings of asshole Goans who are impatient
to double their money in half as much time.

GSRP will, first thing, set up an Intelligence Cell with  capable Police
Officers to scan Newspapers  and Electronic Media advertisements  like
these. And one of the first  clients that visit these rogues will be such
Police Officers calling on them disguised as investors. And the rest of the
story  is plain and simple.  BEHIND BARS. This will have saved our Goan
assholes who will even keep the curry pot on the fire going to run off to
these offices first thing after reading such advertisements. These assholes
do not know that it is a 'BLOODY SHAME' to even show their faces on the TV
to tell Goan public that they have been ripped off.  And this is the
biggest SHAME for the HOME MINISTER of GOA to let the public know that such
rip-offs are taking place in Goa with his Police Department sleeping on
duty. With GSRP in the driving seat of Goa's affairs, anyone who wants to
invest in companies which offer high interest rates will get a free
run-down on these companies setting shops in Goa, if they want, and if
these rogues are not already in the can.

Re: [Goanet] RIGHT OFFICER UNDER A WRONG MINISTER

[Floriano Lobo]

GSRP, in its ROADMAP FOR GOA has clearly said that it will wind up all
parallel organizations and go back to the main departments, may it be PWD,
Tourism, Finance etc. These parallel organizations are instituted to
habilitate ladlas and ladlis of the Ministers and MLAs to gobblel up
tax-payers hard earned money who run thes organizations in RED [LOSES].

 Incidentally, there is talk in town that GSRP is not seen or heard in the
media taking up issues. The justification for not trying to take up space
in the media jump over others to be seen taking up issues to prove to the
people of Goa that GSRP is doing something is because GSRP has done more
than what new entrants into politics have done  over the years and they
need to be seen taking up issues on everyday basis to be in the news. It is
only that they do not have the SOLUTIONS and are gropping in the dark to
play on people's sympathies. GSRP has documented practically all
Solutions.If there are any left out, we should be surprised.   Name an
issue and GSRP has the SOLUTION. Refer to www.goasu-raj.org homepage for
download of the ROADMAP FOR GOA. And the major belt-tightening exercises
are instituted into the body of its CONSTITUTION under Art. 34 and 38 which
no, repeat no political party is able to say they will do this.

It is relevant at this point to mention what we told Rajan Narain when he
was the editor of Herald and  when we had approached him to ask him as to
why he was not publishing our press notes and statements. He had the chick
to tell us [In KONKNI, mind you] Quote 'KITEM KORUN DACOI ... MAGUIR
PUBLISH KORTA. To that we had rattled in  machine-gun KONKNI .. Jerurl,
kitem korun dacoitam... pun tuca khoxi korunk ami margar nagde
nach'chenaum When he looked confused and askance not understanding a word
what was spoken to him, and when asked HAVE YOU UNDERSTOOD?, he miserably
shook his head. It is then he was given a piece of  advice which he will
never forget in his lifetime. ' THEN DO  NOT SPEAK IN KONKNI TO A
THOROUGHBRED GOAN' ever again.

 Dilip Parulekar lacks any vision to enhance Tourism in Goa, his only master

 The current hotbed of Corruption, the Goa Tourism Development Corporation

 The administration of the total industry should come under one Tourism

  My Home Minister Bibian put some drain cleaning fluid and soda over the

  Thank you Alex. If anyone wants to get their car cleaned then go to Alex.
  He charges Rs 200/ or Rs 250/ depending upon what service he provides.
  Please ask. I can't remember the charges for washing a bike but I think

 Cong dilly dallied on regularisation: Mauvin Slams the Kamat govt for
 not understanding needs of people

 By *Team Herald* | 03 Aug, 2015

 VASCO: Dabolim MLA Mauvin Godinho, who was recently appointed chairman of
 the sub-committee for regularization of illegal houses, slammed the
 Congress for not understanding the need to resolve the issue of
 regularizing houses on Comunidade land and keeping it hanging for many
 years.

 He said the committee under his leadership was well-seized of the issue.
 It would urgently formulate a policy and prepare a detailed roadmap, which
 would be submitted to the Convener of the commission before the end of the
 assembly session.

 “The post of chairman of the sub-committee is more important than the
 post of SGPDA chairman simply because this is an issue that is hanging for
 decades. People wanted resolutions and wanted the government to act either
 way. As the revenue minister in 2000, I tried my best to regularise these
 structures. However, an attorney of the communidade went to the court and
 stalled the whole process. Thereafter nobody took interest, but I never
 lost track of the issue. Finally I believe something is happening on this
 front,” said Godinho.

 He continued, “Governments talk about empowering the common man, but fail
 to understand that these people have been staying in those structures for
 decades together with all amenities. Still the structures are called
 illegal as they are not in the resident’s name. This is one step by which
 the BJP government is trying to empower the common man. The Congress failed
 to do it despite being in power for several years.”

 Regarding the date by which the whole procedure for regularization of
 structures should be completed, Godinho said, “I will submit an interim
 report before the Assembly on how we can move forward in fulfilling the
 promise made during the last assembly election. Without any doubt, before
 the next assembly session, *99 percent of these illegal structures on
 communidade land will be regularised. *

 The communidades have lost all hope in getting back the encroached land,
 and thus, regularisation is the only solution.”

Dear Melvyn,
Thank you for this alert from afar.This age old club was going to dogs with
oldies gone and young hawks in charge who were using this club for their
own advancement. We then brought in a change with a brand new constitution
with renewed memberships (as the old books were destroyed). It worked like
magic with the clubhouse getting a new face (sort of) with management
streamlined. However, sad to say, this management has lapsed into the old
rot and we as founding members of the newly constituted club do not even
get the notice of the elections to the managing committee. The 'PANEL
SYSTEM' that the new constitution requires is abrogated once, and therefore
taken as a precedent. The open house elections scheduled for 26/7/15 will
be cancelled (if members are serious about their memberships) and a new
date fixed to pave way for elections as stipulated by the constitution. Let
me (as the member) say that this will be done.

 The Constitution is of the highest authority of the organisation and any
 changes will be by resolution of members all of whom will have been given

 The Notice of meeting with Agenda and Accounts must be circulated in

 Some days ago I received the Notice and Agenda of the AGM to be held on
 Sunday, 26th July 2015 at 10.30 a.m. I had a look at it today and realized
 that the elections of a new Managing Committee is to be held on the day.

 Reading the Agenda, I realized that the elections, if held as procedurally
 flawed and as a consequence are bound to be null and void.

 The Constitution of the Club provides that the schedule of the elections
 have to be announced beforehand and panels of those who wish to contest
 have to file their nominations beforehand.

 Nothing of the kind has been done in the Notice and Agenda that has been
 sent to the members. There is also no mention about the annual membership
 fees that are to be collected.

 From what has been given in the Agenda* it seems that the election will be
 conducted directly on the floor of the house.* *It should be noted that
 this procedure can be followed only if and when no panel has filed
 nomination papers.*

 I am alerting the members about this because the procedures should be
 followed as per the Constitution. *Bypassing the rules*, (even if the
 members are willing to go along with this),* will set up a very bad
 precedent.*

 If today the Constitution is violated like in this way, in future they will
 continue to do whatever they like. And I can assure you given the real
 estate that the Club is sitting on, there are lots of people who would be
 quite happy to do just that.

 At last years' AGM the Committee had promised to present an estimate of the
 repairs that the Clubhouse required. It had also promised that the
 financial accounts would be kept open for scrutiny and copies of the
 financial statements and annual report would be available for members
 beforehand. To the best of my knowledge none of these measures have been
 taken by the Committee till now.

 Will the members wise up and oppose these fraudulent elections and actions

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuncolim_Revolt#The_Massacre


 The five Jesuits met in Orlim Church on 15 July 1583, and thence proceeded
 to Cuncolim, accompanied by one European—Goncalo Rodrigues—and 14 native
 converts, with the objective of erecting a cross and selecting ground for
 building a church. Meanwhile, several villagers in Cuncolim, after holding
 a council, advanced in large numbers, armed with swords, lances, and other
 weapons, towards the spot where the Christians were.

 According to the account given by the Catholic Encyclopaedia, published by
 the Vatican, Gonçalo Rodrigues attempted to confront the advancing crowd
 with a gun, but was stopped by Fr. Pacheco who stopped him and stated: We
 are not here to fight. Then, he addressed the crowd in Konkani, their
 native language, and stated Do not be afraid. Following this, the
 villagers attacked the party. Father Rudolph received five cuts from a
 scimitar and a spear and was killed on the spot. According to the Vatican,
 he died praying God to forgive the assailants, and pronouncing the Holy
 Name.

 Next, the crowd turned on Fr. Berno who was horribly mutilated, and Fr.
 Pacheco who, wounded with a spear, fell on his knees extending his arms in
 the form of a cross. Fr. Anthony Francis was shot with arrows, and his head
 was split open with a sword.

 Br. Aranha, wounded at the outset by a scimitar and a lance, fell down a
 deep declivity into the thick crop of a rice-field, where he lay until he
 was discovered. He was then carried to a Hindu idol, to which he was bidden
 to bow his head. Upon his refusal to do this, he was tied to a tree and was
 shot to death with arrows. The spot where this tree stood is marked with an
 octagonal monument surmounted by a cross, which was repaired by the
 Patriarch of Goa in 1885.

 Along with the five priests, Gonçalo Rodrigues, a Portuguese, and fourteen
 native Christians were also killed. Of the latter, one was Dominic, a boy
 of Cuncolim, who was a student at Rachol Seminary, and had accompanied the
 priests on their expeditions to Cuncolim and pointed out to them the Hindu
 temples. He was killed by his own Hindu uncle for assisting the priests.

 Alphonsus, an altar-boy of Fr. Pacheco had followed him closely, carrying
 his breviary. The Hindus cut off his hands on his refusal to part with the
 breviary and cut through his knee-joints to prevent his escape. He survived
 in this condition until the next day when he was found and killed. He was
 later buried in the church of the Holy Ghost at Margao in South Goa.
 According to the Vatican, several of the victims, including Francis
 Rodrigues and Paul da Costa had earlier affirmed their desire to be
 martyred for the Church. However, the native Goans killed with the Jesuits
 were excluded from the list of the martyrs of the faith when the church
 beatified the missionaries. This was due to the then prevailing attitude
 among the missionaries that the local Catholics were by nature incapable of
 performing spiritual feats.

 http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/Dichotomy-towards-diaspora-politicians/articleshow/48020928.cms

 Front-page news across Indian media recently, when Bobby Jindal became
 the first person of South Asian descent to run for US president.

 The governor of Louisiana is just 44, yet has been a rising star of
 the Republican Party since turning around the fortunes of his state's
 department of health when still in his early 20s.

 In 2006 he became the second Indian-American in the US Congress (the
 first, Dalip Singh Saund of California retired some 50 years earlier).
 In 2007, he became only the second non-white governor of a southern
 state in US history.

 Indian media's reaction to Jindal's announcement was uncritical. But
 the response from other Indian Americans was mostly hostile. This is
 because the candidate represents an extremist fringe in US politics.
 After converting to Catholicism while attending Brown University,
 Jindal has strictly aligned with the religious right-wing of the USA,
 even insisting that creationism (aka 'intelligent design') be taught
 in school biology curricula. Many potential supporters are also
 uncomfortable with Jindal's ostentatious distancing of his public
 identity from his Punjabi Indian roots.

 A slightly more moderate political strategy is pursued by Nikki Haley,
 another Indian-American who became the third non-white governor of a
 southern state, South Carolina, in 2010.

 Like Jindal (who changed his name from Piyush), Haley attempts to
 efface Punjabi Indian origins. Born Nimrata Randhawa into a Sikh
 family, she now identifies as Christian, and supports a doctrinaire
 conservative political agenda, including a hard line on immigration.

 Haley and Jindal are no more Indian than Barack Obama is Kenyan.

 Neither show interest in connecting with their ancestral culture. But
 India still displays an embarrassingly misplaced obsession with them.
 Both were elaborately feted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his
 2014 Madison Square Garden-extravaganza in New York. Haley even came
 onstage to share the PM's spotlight (Jindal did not attend, but sent a
 message).

 That jamboree—played endlessly on every television channel in
 India—encapsulates the bizarre national prejudice that rushes to
 selectively lionize a few diaspora migrants in the USA, while a slew
 of dynamic leaders of Goan descent in Portugal and the UK (and beyond)
 are rudely ignored, even when they seek to connect and contribute.

 The bias against diaspora Goans is petty and ridiculous, and
 perpetuates an ongoing tragedy where some of the most talented and
 successful diaspora Indians are forcibly excluded, instead of enlisted
 for their expertise and support.

 Perhaps first among the overlooked is Antonio Costa, charismatic mayor
 of Lisbon who is also the leader of Portugal's Socialist Party.

 Even while Indian media gushes over Jindal, who has zero chance of
 leading the USA, Costa is now the overwhelming favourite to become
 prime minister of Portugal after elections in September.

 The son of ferociously anti-colonial Goan writer Orlando Costa is a
 political star, who engineered an extraordinary makeover for Lisbon.
 Despite extreme economic crisis, it has been transformed into the
 safest, greenest, and most livable big city in Europe.

 In the rival Social Democratic Party camp is Jorge Barretto Xavier,
 Portugal's secretary of state (effectively minister) for culture. The
 Margao-born dynamo is an expert on arts and culture management. Both
 Costa and Barretto Xavier have repeatedly expressed their desire
 (including to this writer) to foster closer ties between Europe and
 India, with Goa and Portugal as an essential conduit. It is an offer
 that would be criminal to neglect.

 More significant diaspora assets sit in the new UK parliament, where
 three MPs proudly trace their roots to Goa.

 Suella Fernandes is just 35, and a rising favourite in the ruling
 Conservative Party. Valerie and Keith Vaz remain the first
 brother-sister duo in parliament since ex-PM David Lloyd-George's
 children 60 years ago.

 Keith Vaz, who retained his seat by a record margin, and is now an
 elder statesman and kingmaker of his Labour Party, is also a proven
 friend of Goa who returns to visit every year. He could be an
 outstanding adviser to the state government or any civil institution
 (Goa University?) visionary enough to reach out and ask.

 Besides these heavyweights, another diaspora politician whose
 expertise could immediately benefit Goa is 57-year-old Jose Pereira
 Coutinho, who heads the New Hope Party in Macau.

 Since first elected 10 years ago (an astonishing feat considering 95%
 of voters are Chinese) the veteran lawyer and labour leader has

 Despite large hikes in Goa's share of cash from the Central fund (this
 year up a whopping 10%), Goa's public debt is heading upward of 10,000
 crore and the state is reduced to the fatal strategy of borrowing at
 market rates to service interest payments. No less than Greece, this
 is the definition of unsustainable economic policy.

 That highly reasonable analysis by (Laxmikant) Parsekar has been
 turned on its head by his own BJP government's outsized spending spree
 of a scale never seen before in Goa. A third Mandovi bridge for more
 than 600 crore, the controversial bridge to Tiracol (home to exactly
 300 Goans) for more than 80 crore, extraordinarily dubious
 road-building and road-widening exercises for additional hundreds of
 millions of rupees.
 -snip-
 Just as the hated 'troika' of lenders and finance ministers imposed on
 Greece, Goa's political elites are now also talking of selective
 austerity which does not allow increased spending on the inadequate
 healthcare system, or on the state's woefully mediocre education
 infrastructure.

 Pay close attention to Greece by all means, because much the same is
 happening in Goa too.

 Well written, VM.

 I only learned about the debt accumulated by the Goa Govt a week ago. The
 figures mentioned were higher than yours. The problem of course is, who is
 going to pay for these loans? Just like Greece, the day will come when the
 Goa Govt will not be able to service its loans and pay its bills. The first
 Govt service cut usually effects education, the next is health care and
 then it is the services provided to everyone else.

 There is an easy way to resolve this problem of overspending. All you need
 is a law that says any representative who votes to spend more than 106% of
 income received, will not be eligible for re-election to that position
 again.

 This is the only way elected representatives will come to their senses.
 They will either increase income collection (taxes) or decrease spending.

 Grexit is going to adversely effect more than Greece. You will soon hear
 of British banks who lent money to the German banks, who in turn lent money
 to Greek commercial banks. A week after the Greek businesses stop paying
 their invoices, US financial institutions will admit to have lent money to
 British banks that ultimately reached the Greece er, financial system.

 We are in for some interesting times (if one is not a Greece resident.)

The Goa Su-Raj Party is happy at this first salvo from the New PM, that of a 
drastically reduced CABINET.

Looks like Mr. Modi has done his homework well and somehow got hold of the 
GSRP's ROAD MAP FOR GOA where under the GSRP rule, Goa will have and can have a 
maximum of 5 member Cabinet including the CM. Besides this first salvo, GSRP is 
anxiously awaiting to hear from the New Prime Minister that 'OFFICE OF PROFIT' 
for elected people's representatives shall be eliminated entirely just like the 
GSRP Constitution forbids any MLA to hold the office of Chairperson of any 
Government Corporation or Govt Institution. These offices shall go to the 
management qualified persons with experience on hire and fire basis, which is 
not possible with MLAs heading such offices as gift for appeasement.

GSRP is keenly watching in anticipation.

However, GSRP congratulates the initiation of the new 'mantra  ' LESS OF 
GOVERNMENT and MORE OF GOVERNANCE'  in the MODI administration which this 
nation has been lacking since its birth.

GSRP's Views on Volatile Social Media Postings.

Goa Su-Raj Party is ceased with the recent development where a Social Media 
poster faces arrest for his so called slanderous post/s on Facebook and opines 
that the political involvement  over the recent legal action against this  
Facebook poster will further deviate from the real problems and crisis on 
social media in general. Some MLAs want to show the current government in bad 
light and are therefore resorting to  rhetoric's  of  'freedom of speech'. The 
accused in this case  exercised his 'freedom of speech', the complainant 
exercised his freedom for justice and his right to take  legal recourse. Now, 
the matter is for the 'Executive' and the 'Judiciary' to deliberate and decide 
upon. The real concern is about the misinformation and slander that happens on 
the social media we.or.to. certain organizations and even individuals. There  
have to be laws to curb such posts and comments that go beyond civil liberties 
and resort to slander and insults to communities, peoples and individuals alike 
and the damage done is sought to be wiped off the slate by extending mere 
apologies. This Party is of the qualified opinion that individuals and 
organizations  must own responsibility for what they say on the public forums 
that might hurt the sentiments of others.

[Goanet] A word on the HCN's Debate with the Congress' Young Turks

[floriano lobo]

A word on the HCN's Debate with the Congress'  Deflated Young Turks
I was watching, by chance, the debate between HCN' s  Rupesh  and the  
Congress' young turks  comprising Sunil Kauntankar, Pratima Coutinho [whose 
sleeping partner and huband is a BJP] and Ulfran ... .

Well , frankly speaking, I give it to Rupesh, who was dominating the debate 
against the Congress, and I was taking a doze of and on, waiting for some 
interesting part to come about. And it actually did, when Rupesh caught on to 
the statement made by Pratima to say that 2017 would see  CONGRESS RISEN, words 
to that effect.

And when Rupesh put it to Sunil if he agreed on this, he said why not?
and went on to explain that 2017 would see Congress fielding young turks, 
having no past criminal records, ones who will work for the people ( meaning 
congress voter), give them what they want and most importantly who will work 
for the people, meaning congress voters.

Yes, this has been very true since 1947 where Congress candidates have only 
worked for their voters, rest be damned.  That is why the Congress has been 
routed today. The message seems to be you vote for us and we will give you 
whatever you want, mostly illegal things.

Sunil must learn to say that Congress in 2017 will amend the Panchayat Raj Act, 
1004 to hold the Sarpanches accountable and send them to jail for illegalities. 
Sunil must learn to say that Congress will follow the rule book that has been 
written down by the Contitution on India. Sad to say, these young turks of the 
Congress are actually the jokers that they are calling others. They do not know 
what the Congress System of governance is, because Congress has never had a 
System of Governance.

And, Pratima Coutinho must set her own house right. She has been vociferous in 
demanding the outright ouster of the Congress' black sheep, eaning Churchill 
Alemao and Mauvin Godinho. She must firstlearn to clear her own bed  and not be 
found sleeping with the enemy.

Cheers
floriano

PS: The Congress' Panel for this debate was well chosen to  hammer  SECULARISM 
in the brains of the viewers, which Congress is not. Sunil Kauntankar [Hindu], 
Pratima Coutinho [Bloody Catholic] and Ulfran [the Ultimate Muslim]

SHOULD GOA BE AN EDUCATIONAL HUB? - By Smitha Bhandare Kamat

http://www.epaperoheraldo.in/Details.aspx?id=15896boxid=153921343uid=dat=5/19/2014

Comments:
Yes, Yes, Yes, Ms. Kamat. In fact GSRP has said it in its 'Road Map for Goa'  
in its Chapters on 'Education' and 'Industries'. While suggesting total 
Autonomy to the Goa University with  removal of Political influence in its 
working,  GSRP has suggested a single window clearance for Industries in Goa,  
laying stress on SERVICE INDUSTRIES and suggesting gradual phase-out of 
polluting/manufacturing industries to make Goa the green utopia of the world 
where tie-ups with all the world leading Universities for exchange can take 
place to the satisfaction of all. Goa's work force is not the rag-tag 
industrial work force. By getting manufacturing industries in Goa, we are 
importing migrant labour and giving them the voting rights. On the other hand, 
if service industries are promotted, Goa has a rich work force and those Goans 
who are outside of Goa and in foreign lands get the scope to come home for a 
grand homecoming.

Re: [Goanet] Read My Article

[floriano lobo]

Excellent write-up, Veronica.

While appriciating you line of thought, let me say this:

GSRP's first line of attack has been 'The Congress'. It was born to in the year 
2000 to eliminate the Congress in Goa for its selfishly corrupted ideology and 
misrule.

This has been done in Goa in the 2012 Assembly Elections and now in the 2014 LS 
Elections by using the central monster, the BJP.

With the CORRUPT CONGRESS out of the way, GSRP's intent in 2017 is to sideline 
BJP which is both CORRUPT and COMMUNAL and  to take over the reins of GOA in 
GOAN hands for the first time since 1961  to re-instate  the GOAN SECULAR 
HOSPITABLE image that has existed from time immemorial and which is now under 
threat due to the massive corrupted and communal influence over GOA and GOANS 
from across the borders. GOA in 2017 must become the MODEL state for the Indian 
Union to fall back on in terms of IMPARTIAL  GOOD-EFFECTIVE-GOVERNANCE.

So help us GOA, keeping in mind that GSRP will not seek VOTES but will want to 
be VOTED IN.


Viva Goa
Viva Goans

  G O A
  --No plans in this revolution are written for retreat--

  May 17, 2014
  ON ELECTION RESULT.


  Congratulations to BJP not only for winning the election but winning it more 
handsomely with clear majority and thereby lending a strong credibility to the 
prediction made by the Exit Polls. Congress Party in its defeat was decimated 
not only from the Parliament but also from the Indian political scene. Only 
Indira Gandhi must come out from the dead to revive it. Otherwise it looks 
R.I.P. Congress Party at the Centre.  Unless Congress Party is liquidated 
completely from the Indian political scene there will never be cleanliness in 
Indian politics. This time people's mandate in favour of BJP was not for the 
love of BJP but more for the hatred for Congress because Congress Party 
government was filled with scams and corruptions at all levels during the last 
one full decade.


  Since independence Congress Party ruled India almost for 5 decades of which 3 
decades uninterrupted and during this long period Congress could have done 
wonders for India and Indians but instead Congress promoted corruption, scams 
and bad governance with the help of corrupt Congressmen.  Congress Party 
converted Congressmen into Maharajas and Monarchs who led the life of feudal 
lords resulting in the revolt by the voters as witnessed in this election. Even 
minorities who were afraid of BJP voted against Congress. So much is the anger 
of the voters against Congress Party and of course deservingly.


  No doubt I accept the verdict in favour of BJP yet I am more afraid of Modi 
now because in this victory he came out more powerful and with the help of this 
power he may turn into a monster with his RSS linkage and supported by RSS 
elements in BJP.  I only hope he maintains his balance well as per his victory 
speech. More than development in India we need life security for the minorities 
and Modi should give this life security to all the minorities.  He should 
follow the example of Morarjee Desai as premier and stop being revengeful 
against those whom he thinks his opponents. He should give a feeling that all 
Indians whether from the minorities or majority communities are equal. He must 
accept the fact that India belongs not only to the majority community only but 
also to the minorities.


  In the defeat of both the Congress candidates in Goa, once again Goan voters 
indicated their hatred for the mismanaged Congress Party in Goa. The gain of 
BJP in the South Goa was the result of the big mistake of Congress Party of 
refusing the party ticket to the MP Sardinha. Congress High Command in Delhi 
must accept the blame for this goof.  John Fernandes has to do a lot to revamp 
the party in Goa by eliminating all the party rebels and corrupt. The loss of 
Congress in the North though expected was due to the very bad image of Ravi 
Naik associated with some corrupt elements accompanying in his campaign.


  Finally, let us all pray to God to give wisdom to the BJP leadership to 
govern the country well to the satisfaction of all especially of the minorities.

  Candolim,
  Goa.

[Goanet] GSRP Press Release for kind favour of publication

[floriano lobo]

GSRP supports Furtado and Silva on the ban on two-wheeler riders covering their 
faces


In a Press Release, the Goa Su-Raj Party has  fully supported the ban called on 
two wheeler riders covering faces by Furtado and Silva and  expects  that all 
self-respecting citizens will join in to demand this action by the concerned 
authorities which makes a laughing stalk out of the Traffic Police in Goa.

Speaking on this subject, Floriano Lobo, General Secretary, GSRP stated  that 
he was one of the first persons to object to this fad, specially,  by women 
two-wheeler riders to cover up their faces, not leaving even a square 
centimeter free when it initially started and slowly picked up. Unfortunately, 
the reasons attributed for women riders to do by some respectable persons  was 
that the fair sex is protecting their facial make-up, skin, etc,  which reasons 
do not hold water. If that was so, then these riders should be wearing face 
protection screen helmets instead,  which will go a long way not only in 
protecting their faces but their skulls too, in case of accidents, which are 
dime a dozen in today's context.

GSRP hopes that the Traffic Cell will  wake up at least now to enforce traffic 
laws after the lawmakers have come out strongly against this fad which is fast 
attaining epidemic proportions and not let Goa get into the  'Guinness' or 
'Limca' Books of Records to be yet again the number-one state to have alien 
spider women  flaunting our roads indiscriminately and with ease.
