[Goanet] Goanet] Dabolim over Mopa
I think jc has come up with a brilliant idea and it makes sense. MP owes his election success to the people of Goa in particular to the Christians. He therefore has a vested interest, if indeed he is to seek reelection the next time, to at least preserve the coalition in tact.He therefore is in a situation where the Goan people can demand and he has to accede to their demands at least this one time. This will be his legacy to ensure that the right and sensible decision is negotiated in relation to the Dabolim issue. If jc can coordinate this meeting or meetings in order to facilitate this, then hats off to him and I for one would wish that for the sake of Goa, a realistic and plausible agreement is hammered out. We have, however to find an honest group of politicians willing to take up the matter and steer it to fruition let us challenge these MP's to take up the gauntlet and fight for this just cause.

[Goanet] Dabolim over MOPA
The BJP led government appears to be pursuing with MOPA with no clear answers on so many aspects i.e. (1) What will be the future of Dabolim i.e. will 2 airports be sustainable in a small state or are Goans considered foolish to accept this absurd logic of 2 Airports, (2) Why is the land set aside for parking given away by the corrupt ex-government, not re-notified as yet by the current Government; or is this to drown Dabolim in favour of MOPA ? (3) While are we giving away a prime centrally located airport (now grabbed by the Navy) and replacing with an Airport at the extreme end of Goa. Are we that foolish? (4) Who has purchased land and commercial licenses already around MOPA so as to benefit from this unnecessary waste of Tax Payers money, destruction of environment displacement of the locals.(5) What will be the implication on the Goan demographics with the huge migrant labour that will need to be brought in, and also the open welcome mat to more of India to come, purchase more real estate in Goa, and settle; of course the greedy real estate/builders lobby have all to gain from MOPA; they are finishing off other parts of Goa and now preparing a new market for themselves around MOPA to devastate with their mega monstrosities!! It will be wise if the Government holds an open debate on the common sense of having MOPA instead of pushing this project down the Goan Throat. The Logical solution is to demand the Navy withdraws from the land grab at Dabolim. The Navy came as they claim to liberate and not to grab land. I am sure if the Government has the courage to put forth this demand to the Navy to move out, many Goans will support this move. Will the BJP MLA's and Independents supporting the BJP come out clearly with their views on MOPA vs. Dabolim? For some reason most of them are very quite on the issue.
